Painful Lump Hurts When It’s Popping Up And Then Not Painful To Touch?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Walla Walla, WA

I have had this happen a few months ago on both pointer fingers and then this morning on my middle finger. Hurts deep ache when it’s coming in and then it doesn’t hurt to touch but makes my finger a little crooked. Middle joint. Anyone else have this happen??

Ouch Lalita:-( I am so sorry. It is so very hard when our blood work doesn’t show what our body’s are doing. My Rheumatologist always tells me he likes to see me in person so he can see what my body is doing because my labs show differently. Being seronegative makes it more difficult that’s for sure.

Sounds a lot like trigger finger - not painful until you add RA. Let us know what doc said.

@A myRAteam Member, now I understand! You live in Florida! I went through 1 Rheumy before I found a good one in Tallahassee. Now I'm in SC, awaiting to see the one in Columbia in 2 weeks finally. :-)

@A myRAteam Member After reading your comment, I added you to my team. I'm sorry your Rheumy seems dis-interested in your swollen foot. So sad.
