I have a question for you to help me understand what is going on? My right hand has one deformed ring finger and a painful middle finger. It's very painful when this deform ? ing $ thing happens. Now my left hands is starting also ring and middle fingers. It starts where I cannot straighten them they want to lock in a curved way ??. I mentioned this to my pain doctor and he said there's no way this is PN.
He said that it cannot go other places it just stays in my feet. He said it is arthritis?? What do you say?? What I read on this site says that it can and appear elsewhere. I'm just confused they just hurt. Thanks for your helpful support much appreciated.

Forgot to mention in the message I sent earlier that I don't have numbness,but my left hand has trouble holding things. Mugs and coffee cups the worse. Part of this is my neck and part I believe is PN. charlie@807

It does sound very much like arthritis. It could also be a drug reaction. Have you started a new drug in the last year? Symptoms can take up to a year to develope. I have chemo induced PN in my hands, but nothing like this.
