Swelling between knuckles

I get similar swelling on my hands and my feet. I have osteoarthritis so just put the swelling down to that.
Over the years I have become so used to it that I ignore the swelling.
Perhaps this is the cause of your swelling?

Yes I agree it could be osteoarthritis. I have swelling on my fingers and some are bent and starting to go in different directions. Perhaps revisit your GP for further investigation.

Yes, I have swelling, rather tender white lumps, which have just come up on a couple of fingers. I wondered if the cause was doing a lot of crocheting!

Allira those sound like Heberden's nodes. They are a form of osteoarthritis, I have them on some of my fingers. I too crochet, but I don't think that had anything to do with the nodes forming.
I am also developing a bouchard's node on my middle fingers. Not really painful but a bit stiff.

Thanks, * MiniMoon*, I will look it up!

One did appear on an index finger when I started crocheting and another one has appeared on a little finger now I've started again, but it could just be coincidence.

No, they're not Heberden's nodes.

They are on the side and white fluid-filled lumps.

Perhaps ganglions or mucous cysts. Also caused by osteo-arthritis!

They used to bash them with a Bible years ago, I think, but that sounds a bit drastic.

I have the same swelling on both hands. I have noticed it for at least the past 6 years. The swelling is not painful and is not pitting. I see a rheumatologist as I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 6 years ago. I was also (mis)diagnosed by another rheumatologist. I recently saw a vascular doctor bc several drs have said I had venous insufficiency in my left leg however ultrasounds in both legs several weeks ago showed veins are in good shape. Next step- lymphatic therapist. I am going to ask if the hand swelling might be related.
Good luck to you. Will try to remember to post again if I get any info from the lymphatic specialist about the hand swelling.

(Mis) diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
