[|Human|] I woke up at 2:45. I had fallen asleep in my arm and it was completely dead from the shoulder to my finger tips. I couldnt move it. Had to pick it up to shake the circulation back into it. For the past two weeks I have had excruciating pain in my finger joints and swelling When I try to twist the top off something, it feels as if I am ripping my fingers apart at the joints. I have djd of the spine and sarcoidosis. Could this be signs of one or both of my diagnoses
[|AI|]  Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The pain in the fingers is not related to your actual diagnosis. It seems like rheumatoid arthritis. It should be evaluated by a rheumatoid factor level in the blood. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain and swelling in the fingers. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards!  Chat Doctor.
