Anyone know much about it? The doctor tells me I've got it in my hands/fingers, if you've got it what do you use to relive the pain, apart from beer,pot and painkillers?

Assuming they have done a blood test for inflammation markers ?
There are many things you can do diet related to help if it is.
You could try avoiding foods from the nightshade plant for a start, potatoes being one, Tomatoes another but not so bad if cooked.
I now avoid them but every now and then slip and have potatoes and my knees and fingers are a nightmare for a few days.

Yup. It should make a full recovery back to normal. Whether it plays up in years to come who knows.
It’s just life. , I might make the end of this season of the snow is good at Easter [emoji23]

This, agreed. They've used it in herbal medicine for aeons  and providing you're not on blood thinning meds I've heard a lot of people swearing by it. If you have arthritis chances are your system is too acidic and you need to eat and drink stuff that will alkalise it, easiest way to find out how is the search engines

After having a good read about arthritis it seems it can be hereditary which makes a little sense, my old girl had it. That's just my luck!
