A member asked:

Last 3 months my hand joint are started to swollen. joint make cracking noises as i move. i have no pain. rheumatologist said its not arthritis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: What did not rheumatologist say was the cause? Without pain it is unlikely to be arthritic inflammation. It is difficult to be specific with you without having the ability to examine the area first hand.
