Okay, persistence pays off. You might have me - we'll see. I might have an example of what could be both Hebernon’s and Bouchard’s nodes, on the middle finger of my right hand, and a Bouchard's node, on my little finger. It's not easy to see, but take a look at this photo of my right hand, and see what you think:
Both the middle finger and the little finger are cocked to the right, at the proximal joint, and the middle finger is cocked back to the left, at the distal joint. It's also twisted, at the proximal joint. This developed over a period of about a year, before I escaped the clutches of gluten.
I'm puzzled, though, because when I broke my left arm, soon after this, I especially asked the doc if my bones showed any signs of osteoporosis, in the x-rays, (because at the time, I still thought that I had CD, which would have made me vulnerable to osteo), and he assured me that my bones were quite dense. That's why I always attributed the problem to RA, (and those finger joints were quite painful, red, and inflamed, also, while that was going on).
So what's the verdict?
