not me,my sister......she showed the Doc her swollen fingers and says,"wot's up Doc?" and the Doc replied that she had arthritic nodules on her fingers.."no i hivnae" replied my sister.."i ain't got no pain" she went on.

"aye you've got arthritis nodules alright,NEXT!" screamed the Doc at my wee sisters neck.

Yes. I got the nodules - lovely one on my R.index finger, plus a wee lump on it that I can roll around! Have swollen root of thumb and most of main knuckles.

Got trigger finger on L.middle finger, but intermittent.

Hands are fairly reasonable vis-a-vis pain. Feet are worse cause I have to walk on those...<LOL> (And horrible swollen ankles that pit - real 'ole ladies' ankles!!)

swollen - was it like dactylitis? http://images.rheumatology.org/viewphoto.php?imageId=2862152&albumId=75685 or was it more like heberdens nodes? http://images.rheumatology.org/viewphoto.php?albumId=77030&imageId=2897683

I don't think either are necessarily painful, though I think sometimes both could be.

yes, i have them on the middle joint of all my fingers. and no, i really have no pain and only a little stiffness in those joints 99% of the time.

so yes, arthritic nodules. doctor gave them a specific name which i've promptly forgotten, but pretty asymptomatic otherwise.
