I read the WHOLE THING Doody! It is good to share and read about what we are going through, in order to be able to understand it all. The more informned the better we can handle our doc visits. Doc visits sure need something...I hate them and NEVER get much help out of them. Maybe rheumy will be different...hope so.

My DIL has the hand problems and has had surgries to help improve hand movement. She has a lot of pain and swelling in both hand. It is a hard problem to deal with and I am sorry you got that too Doody. Hugs, Gaye
