Ignoring a possible psychosomatic response
I've been experiencing what I assume is arthritis type pain in only one knuckle. The one above my wedding ring. It's not too tight. I can slip it on and off pretty easy. Anyone else ever had this problem with rings?
Is your ring unusually heavy? Are you left handed?
No and no. It's just a plain gold band, and I'm right handed.
Maybe you've just jammed it without knowing?
Do you wear other jewelry and if so do you ever have a reaction to it?
Why not try wearing the ring on your right hand for a little while (just a
little while!
) to see if the arthritic pain remains in your "wedding ring finger". The pain may have nothing to do with wearing the ring.

Just a stud in my left ear. No problems with that.
So you just took it off, Wilso?
I normally take it off at night. I took it off this afternoon and haven't put it back on.
Ah, I see.
Why not leave it off that finger for a couple of days & see if that makes a difference?
I have a weekness in one of my wrists. If I wear anything on that wrist it causes discomfort, doesn't have to be really tight. It just seems to aggravate the problem. It could be something like that, perhaps?
Yep. I intend to leave it off for a few days.
It's been getting better. Looks like it's going to become a piece of "going out" jewellry.
@Wilso,
I know this was originally posted in 2007, but I have been having arthritis pain in my joints on the hand with my gold ring, when I change it to the right hand, the pain stops
