Hi Maxime,
I thought it OA as a possibility because I have just been diagnosised with it. It's pretty common. Guess depression doesn't stop aging :(
It was my pt for carpal tunnel who saw a 'look' to my hand--the finger tip joints--that said OA. She is 56 and also told me to have a bone scan by 50 so bone loss can be monitored. I didn't know.
So the rheumy looked at my hands and confirmed. Felt his conclusion was depression as main problem; no other information was given.
My gp will order a bone scan.
I think aches and pains warrant checking out and being treated, if only palliatively. My depression makes my OA pain more intense. Being the case doesn't mean I don't have some pain treatment.
Best sweetie.
MDD currently controlled. C-ptsd and comorbid health concerns. Chronic fatigue.
