[QUOTE="Ricky, post: 653060, member: 27137"] I have type 2 and osteoarthritis in my fingers inherited from my mum!! My mum was correct when she told me that the pain stops after the joints have swollen up and the bone growth (knobbly joints) has finished. So basically after having the pain when the bone was growing out of shape (very hot water helped) I now have stiff joints in my fingers and I can't make a proper fist anymore. This means things like holding a knife and cutting veg up and holding a pen can be difficult. The bigger the knife handle (and the pen) the easier it is and there are brands in kitchen shops that do specially wide handles. What I do get now and again is very strange and the doctor looks at me as if I am mad. My joint in a finger will seize up completely and it can't be bent because of the pain. I then feel around for a a little bubble (air?) which I press and try to disperse. Once I have done this (the bubble moves as well!!) then the joint will then move easily and painlessly again. Anyone else had this? [/QUOTE]
