[QUOTE="Sunamd, post: 410337, member: 78831"] Hi All, Getting straight to the point, I have been having pain and swelling in my left middle finger (middle joint) and right thumb (middle joint) for the last 3 months. They seemed to start about a week after I recovered from a viral infection nearly 3 months ago. I went to my GP and he put me on difene which helped but did not eliminate the pain. I have been for an xray and nothing has shown up but it is obvious that there is a problem due to swelling and discoloration. While visiting the GP again yesterday things seem to be drawing to a close with no diagnosis. He feels I should be referred to a specialist but it's not apparent what type of specialist. Now I am noticing similar pain beginning to start in my left hip. I'm getting quite worried about it. I have also been for blood tests which have shown my rheumatoid factor is negative (thankfully). Has anyone experienced anything similar? If so, what was the condition and how was it treated? In case it makes any difference, I'm on NovoRapid and Lantus and my most recent hba1c was 6.3 in July. Any help would be great, Thanks, Sunamd [/QUOTE]
