Can you have rheumatoid Arthritis in just one finger?

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?

    Rheumatoid arthritis almost always affects more than one joint at a time in a symmetrical manner. So, if one knee had rheumatoid arthritis, the other knee would usually also have it.

    There are over 100 different kinds of arthritis though, some of which only affect one single joint. Osteoarthritis is one example of a type of arthritis that only affects one joint.

    No just like you said it’s ABUSE.

    Diseases are self created. They are in your DNA.

    Get help for your problem and anti-inflammatories for your finger.

    If you continue, you have no idea how many problems you’ve created and really screwed yourself over.

    rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder that literally is your body attacking your joints. If you know you have done damage to your joint by abusing it it more than likely isn’t RA. You are going to have more than one joint affected by RA as well. Not just one and also possible signs of lupus. It sounds like you have really beat up your joints and you need to give them a rest. Could take up to a year. You may need some help with dealing with emotional help. Seek a psycologist to help you find the tools to deal with problems.
