<p>This is what my mom sent me:</p>
<p>Here’s some online info about my hands. I’m confident that we’ll be able to get this handled. It’s just gonna take some time to get all the x-rays, referrals and all that.<br>
Problem #1 – tenosynovitis in the index finger on the right hand. He injected cortisone into the joint under the index finger on the right hand. It’s pretty swollen tonight but he expected that for a few days. He said I should have some relief by the weekend. He thinks this should handle this one for now.</p>
<p>Problem #2 – Boutonniere Deformity – I have this in the middle and pinkie finger on the left hand.<br>
<a href=“http://www.eatonhand.com/hw/hw100.htm[/url]”>http://www.eatonhand.com/hw/hw100.htm</a> - Click on bent fingers – Boutenniere Deformity. Sounds like I’m a good surgery candidate on this one.</p>
<p>Problem #3 – Swan Neck Deformity – I have this in the index finger of the left hand. It sounds like I’m a good surgery candidate here also because I still have a lot of “bend” left in the finger.

<p>I talked to him about the extensive twitching I have in my fingers constantly. He said that’s nerves and/or muscles and is most likely a cause of everything being so out of whack. He was a little intrigued though. He could even see the twitching while I was there.</p>
