I started laughing as I typed in the discussion title - I guess I have to stop using my middle finger so much - LOL!

((((((((((((Donna)))))))))))) How long have you been on the Humira this time? It takes Enbrel 4 months to start to work on me. Hopefully, it will kick in soon.

Now, about that middle finger...... Hahahahahahahahahaha, stop using it so much!!!! snicker, snicker!! Really, if it continues to hurt, don't wait till August to call your rheumy. Does your new job, require more computer work, then the last job?

Donna, I just love all your siggies. You are so creative!

Hugs,
Vicki

Donna,
STOP sleeping with your hands curled into fists!!!! Right now I want you to call your rhuemy and get them to send you a script for resting and working hand/wrist splints made by a occupational therapist or physiotherapist.
Alot of us gals here have the resting hand/wrist splints and they are a MUST. They stave of the damage to our joints when we sleep by keeping them in a neutral position. I shuddered when I read your post. Donna go pick up those yellow pages right now. And worst comes to worst... you could also try walmart or a similar chain...they might have something. I think I bought wrist spints at walmart when on vacation but it didin't support the digits.

Take care of you...what is that saying an ounce of prevention....

hugs,
holly

I too have the middle finger "thing" going on, especially in the morning when i get up. It is so sore and swollen. I finally went to the doctor, had x-rays, and an arthritis lab work up. I left knowing i had some form of arthritis and a script for feldene. I go back in two weeks to see how the medication is helping and to find out the result of my labs. She also mentioned sending me to a rheumatologist. Glad to know i'm not the only one with the middle finger "thing".
