Xcited About Life asked:


I have a self-harm problem of excessively cracking, twisting and popping my index finger. At times I have even wished I could break it…for some reason I enjoy inflicting that type of pain on myself. This finger is now swollen and feels very loose…I know the cartilage is worn from my abuse. My question can this cause bone cancer and can rheumatoid arthritis effect just this one finger?

I have arthritis that has fused my SI joints, and had to also get both my hips replaced due to degeneration of the joint. I thought I had AS. But the tests did not come Positive, but that also is common with people with AS. How can I tell if I have AS or if it could be an Infectious Arthritis? I have had my condition since I was 15yrs
