I searched the forum for anything relating to what i'm about to say, and i really didn't find anything that i already hadn't heard, so here we go;
Ok, last year around march, i noticed the fingers in my right hand had swollen to about a quarter above their "original" size. I thought it was no big deal at first, but then i started having pain in my right hand fingers. Then the same symptoms spread to my left hand. Since then my fingers have been stiff, numb, ice cold, sensitive to touch, at mostly in the morning, however, the symptoms never go away. I have pretty much had constant pain in my hands since last march. This thing has greatly messed up my playing abiliity, and i virtually have no endurance any more. I know that this post seems kind of stupid, seemeings as those are mostly signs of many dieseases like arthritus, carpul tunnel, but here's the thing. I've been tested for:
Ruemtoid Arthritus, carpul tunnel, RSD, reynauds pretty much all of the common dieseases that you would think of. and they have all come up negative. What i am asking is: has anyone ever heard of similar symptoms, and if so how did you treat or get rid of them? any reply is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

When you say that you're negative for rheumatoid arthritis, what labs did they run on you? Did they do the full autoimmune panel (ANA, RF, Scl-70, etc.)?

You can still have another kind of arthritis (juvenile rheumatoid arthritis) even if your rheumatoid factor comes back negative. That's what I would put my money on.
