I have CPPD . Calcium pryophosphate disposition disease. Also known as puesdo-gout. The little pieces of calcium settle in the joint and destroy it. I'm having a flare on my pointer finger. No cure, no treatment. If you can take meds (which I can't) you can use anti inflammatories. Ice and heat. Feel better

Rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes joints all over the body to become inflamed, stiff, painful, and swollen. It can cause damage that can be disabling and permanent. According to the American College of Rheumatology, around 1.3 million Americans have RA.

RA is also a systemic disease. This means it can affect other parts of the body, like organs. As a result, people with RA have a higher risk of heart disease than those who don’t.

Gout
Gout is an intensely painful type of arthritis that occurs mainly in the joints of the big toe. It can also attack the top of the foot and ankle. Occasionally, it’s been known to attack other joints in the body.

Have your blood tested for a gout test. If you eat a lot of organ meat or seafood that can cause gout.

My hands have arthritis and makes it hard to type my fingers also stick on me. I dont think it gout. Good luck getting feeling better.

That sounds a lot like rhumatoid arthritis. You should talk with your dr and have your
blood checked for it.
