Has anyone experience swollen knuckle joint?

I have the same thing going on with my knuckles. I never crack my knuckles, but there are times I have to just to bend my fingers.

I was told to reduce my salt intake. I do not use salt on food, only pepper. All of my joints are having issues. They hurt when I move them, and as soon as the pop, I have relief.

I have been approved to be seen at the Mayo Clinic. I hope they can help with some relief in those symptoms.

I also have my knuckles and wrist&elbow & toe joints itch.
Scratching them just makes the skin sore. I've tried heat or ice with no effect. Eventually they calm down on their own

i also have issues with my fingers and wrists..my fingers seem to lock up, swell and are painful it only happens with one or two at a time on the fingers for no real reason at all..my wrists get painful and my toes have always been numbish or painful...had none of this before covid, long covid is three and a half yrs now for me , i have a lot of different symptoms that come and go when ever it wants, i never know day to day what it will be...just have to keep working at it.....

Yes my joints have all gone through the wrecker, but it's this middle finger knuckle that has really been bothering me. Have any of you gone to a rheumatologist for it did it help? It seems like at test always come back negative

Over the past two months, my knuckles have been getting bigger and hurt like arthritis. Also have slight trigger finger.

That is the same with my middle finger. And it's very noticeably different painful

I had fairly mild covid in June 2022. Three weeks later I showed signs of long covid manifesting with swelling of both feet and ankles. After a few weeks the swelling worked its way up to include my calves. It did not respond to the typical ice and elevation. In September I was diagnosed with lymphedema and began treatment to get the swelling down. I now wear thigh high compression stockings daily. I also use an electric graduated compression pump for an hour each night.

A year or so after having covid in 2022 my fingers would occasionally lock up at the joints when I woke up in the morning. I’ve been told it’s called trigger finger. It would lock at the knuckle, but I could pop it. Now I sometimes have to manually lift it to unlock it. It happens sporadically on both hands, mostly ring fingers and middle finger.

Yes. Covid may have triggered Rheumatoid Arthritis. I am at risk because my Grandma had it.

mine is the middle finger also and the thumb...
