Developed right wrist and finger pain and swelling, especially in the thumb. I can't close the hand fully and some movements are painful. Went to the Doctor in December, who had xray and ultrasound done on the wrist. Also a battery of blood and urine tests. Xray was clear, from the ultrasound he mentioned that a tendon may be off the bone on the outside of the wrist. Possible the reason I can't fully close the baby finger. From the bloodwork and such, Vitamin D was low and liver a little high.

He sent me to a Orthopedic specialist, was there 30 second and he suggested he knew what was wrong. He asked if I had been vaccinated from Covid, which I have 2 Pfizer, 1 Moderna. He said he used to see this once a month, now twice a day, Gout in the wrist. He gave me 3 pills, one a day for three days, which brought down the swelling only, still had the pain. I have had Gout in the toes before and yes it feels similar.

Then, I had an appointment at the Hospital with a Neurologist in January, who told me that maybe some tendon damage. It was worse in the left hand but I have no issues with it, just the right. I told her about the Gout comment of which she said she wasn't a joint specialist and couldn't comment. Just wear a wrist brace when I go to bed, for 4-6 months.

Last week went back to the doctor who prescribed 2 types of pills to treat Gout, 3 a day for 3-4 days even though my Uric Acid levels seemed normal. Still didn't help... Bought some Voltaren Joint Extra Strength today, see how that work.

Funny thing about all this, is no wrist or hand injuries... been suffering this pain, swelling and lack of mobility with the hand and fingers since waking up with it in the last week of October, less than two weeks after getting over a symptomless Covid.
