A member asked:
My index finger is very skew. have had x-rays which came back clear.its very painful especially in the morning.should i consult an orthopedic surgeon ?

See a rheumatologist: With normal bone structure by X-ray, an orthopedic surgeon will have little to offer. Best to consult with a rheumatologist as this sounds more like an arthritic problem and not a bone structure problem.
