Hi Marissa and welcome to the group! I don't really have anything new to add, but wanted to wish you luck at your doctor's appointment.

Personally, I was diagnosed with osteo-inflammatory-degenerative arthritis when in my 20's -- before MS. Lately it's been bothering me again, especially my hands where I have those lumps on the first joint of all my fingers. Like Sally, I'm not a "spring chicken" anymore, but this seems to come at any age. Sorry! For me, plain old Aleve helps as much as anything.

Good luck and keep us posted!
