I dont know the symptoms. My hands seem to be drawing up and going crooked. I have never been tested for that
Well, Osteo can cause joint deformity along with RA. All of my knuckles are enlarged and I have twisting in some of my fingers. It can also cause problems with toes, which I have also as my toes are all deformed and crooked.
Osteo causes pain when you first get up that usually wears off or at least lessens after an hour or two. RA is the pain that keeps on giving.
Has your doctor ever told you that you have Osteo?
