I started getting pain in my fingers and pinky kinked at first knuckle of tip of finger, I started taking 800 IU of a vegan vitamin E everyday and I have not had any issues since. My sister suffers from it and so did my mother. I am so sorry you are diagnosed with this, its painful and hopefully I could be of some help. Read an article long ago also a doctor was trying to find a cure for his mother, he discovered Alaskan cod liver oil, which comes flavored now I think, got his mom moving again.
