Hi i'm a 38 year old female experiencing a few problems at the moment, i constantly wake up in the middle of the night with numb hands, my fingers swell often, i have developed a hard lump on my wrist joint, which has been there about a year, was aching but stopped now, and my wrists in particular as well as other joints ache and feel weak, am i suffering from RA?, i had an aunt with this condition so am concerned as know how debilitating it can be, my work is in administration, mostly typing so could it be caused by this?
