Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Hi all, My youngest child, 13yo daughter, has been having a hard time with her middle fingers on both hands. They are so swollen that she cannot bend them or straighten them completely out. One of them got stuck in the bent position all night last night. They are better after she is up and moving them around, but then it starts all over again after sleeping. They are swollen about double their normal size. I'm just unsure of what to do to ease her pain. I have given her arnice and I'm going to get some arnice cream at the store today to rub into the joints. Any suggestions welcome.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 She has not had an injury, we do have a history of rheumatoid arthritis. It would be her great grandfather, but his onset was in his 60's.
