I have swelling, redness, heat and pain in both knees; my shoulders have pain but no swelling; my wrists have pain but no swelling; my fingers and knuckles have swelling and pain................there is degeneration of the knee joints, and am sure the hands are affected, also. The only thing I am absolutely sure of is that I have joint swelling, redness, heat and pain. >--------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2000 Report Share Posted January 5, 2000 Arjay, I haven't had the red, hot joints either. Just the swelling. It is hard to get the swelling down. I've had my rings enlarged and still can't wear them. I think it is an individual thing with the red, hot joints. At least, I've never had it.
