I am a 46-yr old female with severe gastrointestinal problems. Back in May I had a benign cyst removed from my left index finger. Within the last three months I have developed new nodules on my right index finger, right ring finger and now my left wrist. The two on my fingers hurt, especially if I try to make a fist or knock on a door. My mother had arthritis and Chrons, my maternal grandmother has very bad arthritis and my maternal great grandmother had severe rheumatoid. My family doc is stumped. He tested me for gout which came back clear. I do not even know what specialist I should try to see!
