Wow...what a stress for you! I had a doctor who believed me when I said I had swollen joints...I did take a picture of my hands once but it made me burst into tears! I am quite surprised at the rest of the comments though...I thought the joint swelling was much more common. Mine tend to swell often, turn red and give off lots of heat...my hands turn into claws! My knees are the worst though...my husband can feel the heat radiating off them without even touching them...maybe I should be looking at getting more meds! That's the odd thing about this condition...you never know how much you are meant to just put up with...
