Ouch! That looks so sore.

My finger joints aren't that swollen. Mine is more of a universal swelling in the hands and joints at times, like after they have been still for a bit (after sleeping or after reading etc). The finger tips and now the left thumb joints areas are always a bit swollen though.
It hurts (sharp pain) to bend the joints of the hands & wrists when they are like that, but after a few flexes, the swelling and stiffness go down some.

Sometimes there is no swelling at all but the stiffness and pain is still there along with redness. I also have the index, 3rd and 4th fingers do a trigger thing at times. Nothing I've tried so far reduces the pain except Ibuprofen.

The redness is sometimes like what you get after handling beets in the kitchen; worse on the palm side and in the thumbs, as well as on the finger tips, under and around the finger nails. Then sometimes it is barely noticeable.
Since having a reaction to Lyrica, the swelling, redness and pain have been more pronounced, more often. It has been affecting the wrists as well for the last few weeks.

I'm thinking that it may be a rheumatic type of thing too because it feels like the tendons are affected as well as the joints themselves.

With love, ERika
