When he got a new GP (the other one was a piece of work let me tell you), she referred him to a hand surgeon. It changed his life for the better. It's also referred to as Viking Disease. Not sure of the root of that but apparently we have our wayward ancestors to thank for it.

Swollen top knuckles & bouts of pain in my ring & middle finger of my left hand. Probably down to learning to type in the days of cranky old manual machines, when you had to hid each key with a force that would have got you the star prize at one of those fairground "Test Your Strength" stalls.

Best guess is that it is Duypuytren Syndrome. Can be inherited but usually arthritis with quite a lot of drinking and smoking thrown in.
