Hi went to doctors today cos my pinkie is curving outward. I was told

Ulnar deviation of pip joint. It's chronic and will never get better only get

Worse. I.was sent to have xray will get results 5 December.

Has anyone else got this if so what's the treatment. Worried that it will get

Worse and pinkie will be useless

I do...started a year ago in ring finger, then pinky, spreading slowly but surely. This was my first sign of osteo, boohoo

Maybe get a second opinion? It's just one doc....

In reluctant to believe him because I've been putting off having it really looked at.

A splint or anything. My pinkie get really sore when it's cold. Starting

To get in the way like wash my face and pinkie heads up my nose lol

hi katrina

I have no further info yet except to say we have similar symptoms, including the nose thing 😊, which at least adds a little humor (as long as no one else sees😕

sees&#128533. Since it began, I've had two back fractures, respiratory failure from bronchiectasis raising 24/7, as well as a paraesophageal hernia. Trying to deal with it has taken all the energy I have . I've had put off seeing anyone about this scary new hand thing. I did show them to my gp in passing oqut of fear it might be RA, and was told I have certain bumps on finger joints characteristic of osteoarthritis.

I'm sorry to hear you are going through this too. I hope you get treatment which helps.
