Arthritis

The joint in my 3rd finger (right hand) keeps swelling up, I suspect arthritis?
How can you tell?
Does wearing a copper ring help ?

I'd go to the doc but he's fully booked until next week!

Wierd, have you ever broken it?

Those help if your joints ache when it's wet/humid weather I think.

I suspect I have arthiritis in not just my hand but most of my body. I know I should go to a doctor, and probably will do soon. It's not really that bad... yet... but I do find myself 'cracking' my back and neck bones about every 10 minutes...

That's not a sign of arthritis...

Do go to the doctor as then you know!
I have it in my shoulders and joints, and i get stiff joints, a grinding when i move them, and when the weather changes they dont stop hurting, so get to get high on drugs (i avoid them when i ccan there horrible normally glucosaime taken for ages is best) to ease the pain.

Dont crack your joints tho, even if you dont have arthiris its not good for them.

Copper rings are meant to help but never tried as they wont help me much.

Also have you strained or bruised your finger as that could be it

Hmm I know what you mean... although it only tends to happen to me in the winter.. my fingers swell up and the joints ache like hell.. but then Ive got really bad circulation so it could be something do to with that...
