hi everyone

the ring finger on my left hand has been swollen on the first joint to
probably double its size which gets worse with movement and mornings and
use. my left elbow, i thought was tendonitis, but its really reallys sore
right in the joint where it connects.

I also have bad anaemia. have done for a while. My finger is sore when i
push on the joint, but i wouldnt say unbearably sore. My mother has RA and i
am always always tired. i am 38.

anyone know any reason why a finger would swell up for no real reason.. all
day everyday.. sometimes swelling more than other times and elbow hurting
all the time. i hate to go to the doctor for a swollen finger if its
nothing. and my elbow.. well i am sure its just got sore somewhere with
something i did. anyone have any experience similiar to this?

thanks in advance

A quick trip to the doctor will tell if it is nothing. Your mothers dx with
RA would be a good reason to have it checked out.

I have the same problem with my pointing finger. I do have OA and my rhumy
says it is from deposites on the joint or something like that.  I have
nodules on about all my finger joints and that one has gotton larger since
Ive had that pain. It just starts for no reason and then goes away after
about a week. it is very red and inflamed. I just continue my meds and it
finally gets better. If I were u I would let the doc check it out.
