My Dr diagnosed DC about a year ago coincedently when i visited for another reason. My hands never bothered me, i just noticed they were different. He explained procedures that can be done to fix them but i just blew after he gave me some handout/info about it because it never bothered me (pain before)
Lately and especially in the last 2 days when i have returned to work my hands, wrists and pinky fingers have been aching really bad, (even now typing). I will see my Dr again about it but after researching and reading there is not much mention of associated pain and lost of talk of nodules and other symptoms that i dont have.

Anyone else in the same position? Should i consider treatment now?

P.S I am a young female, no Alcohol addiction/abuse, non diabetic or epileptic so i am also thinking wrong diagnoses.

Do they take x ray or something to prove the disease or just by feeling my hands?

Thanks. I have since noticed Tendon, (strings) prominent along my palm near my index finger on both hands.
I have been using voltaren emulgel.
but not so effective for pain relief.
I am not keen to take tablets, would rather more localised treatment but hopefully can get something done after my appointment.

Is your pain in your fingers, palms and wrist? mine is. It is worse on my right (dominant) hand.
