Hi. I can relate to your hand story. Imaging shows “deformity”. And why do they always feel your hands when they can see the problem at this point?! Do you have pseudogout too?

No, thankfully I do not. My RA doctor feels for nodes; which are the bumps on the side of your joints. It's easy to feel the difference between normal and not. I do have Sjorgrens syndrome (can be found in blood tests) and Raynauds. Crazy enough when they saw the Sjogrens in my blood test I was happy to have actual proof that I was going through all of this.

I had breast cancer that spread to my arm lymph nodes; a double mastectomy and am still going strong!!! If you want to chat I'm here! Wishing you the best!

It is amazing how we learn so many medical terms and definitions going through this.
