Dupuytren’s and Raynauds with IPF
I have developed Dupuytren’s and Raynauds over the last 6 months. Sometimes I have aches in my fingers and palms and in my index finger shooting pain and numbness. (I know that sounds impossible but it happens) I was just wondering if anyone else has issues with their hands.

I have had Reynauds for many years now diagnosed with IPF. I am beginning to have cramps in my fingers.

So we are not alone! I am due to see a Rheumatologist soon to look at this concern. I will let you know what I learn. For now I take anti inflammatory meds because the pain, difficulty and loss of my finger functions were making me feel a little desperate.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>After a long wait to see the Rheumatologist I cannot report any specific findings. Today was the day! At this time the doctor said that their is no, or not sufficient evidence to suggest scleroderma. Which is great news!</p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>But I am left with the questions of what my tendons in my hands are doing and planning to do?</p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>They are still troubling me and the advice is wait and see. Hmm.</p>I live in South Africa so Spring is arriving and I hope that the warmer weather will also provide some relief for my hands, because they really do not like the cold!
Sorry I could not add value to this post other than – ‘wait and see.’
