Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 , PA is well known for being a one-sided disease for some. It definitely fits the mold of one type of PA. Getting x-rays is not uncommon. They like, if nothing else, to have a base line, to see where your joints are at this time. It gives them something to compare to at a later date. Good luck. When my hands ache I often put one of my herbal bags in the microwave, rub some shea butter lotion on my hands and then wrap them with the herbal bag. It feels wonderful, is no cure by any means but does feel good.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Hi , I agree. X-rays are a good idea. Have you had any blood tests done? If not, you may want to ask your doctor about it. Ask him/her to test for any unusual inflammation and if there is ask about seeing a rhumetologist. Any data you can gather to put the " puzzle pieces " together is a good thing. My PA really started last October with one swollen index finger. It was actually my podiatrist that suggested a blood test and that is when my doctor sent me to the rhumetologist. I have a few other symptoms now, but it all started with one swollen finger. Another thing that feels good is using a parafin machine or simply running your hands under warm water. My physical therapist had a parafin machine and it really helped with range of motion, but you have to be careful not to aggravate the swelling. --Leann ------------------ moderator note: If your hands hurt at work place them on the top of a computer monitor towards the back. the heat feels wonderful...PatB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 The parafin bath helped the pain in my hands a great deal. The relief was instant--but not long-term. However, after using it daily, I think the pain stayed away for longer periods. Ks Di Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
