Hello Edie Welcome.

I`m not sure this is the place for you. People who are worried about dementia do not complain about pain, especially when it is so severe.

I can only suggest you do back to your doctor and ask for strong pain relief yo see if it helps.

Good luck. I hope you get the help you need.

Hi @nixsonbabe69 I agree with Grannie G but I would also ask for a referral to Neurology and/or Orthopaedics.

Hello @nixsonbabe69

Along with a lot of other problems my OH has peripheral neuropathy - which is what I think you are saying that your doctor thinks you have. It causes lots of changes in what you can feel and how the joints can move because its the nerves that are affected.

The nerves can be affected in different ways, so it can cause different affects in your hands and in your feet. OH has the opposite problem to you - its his feet that the joint has locked so he has trouble moving his ankle. His hands have different problems. The sensation of pain is also very common with neuropathy

However, it may not be due to this, so it needs checking out. Go back to your doctor and make sure that he knows about this lump in your hand. Ask for a referral to either orthopaedics, or a neurologist, to find out what is happening to your hand
