I Have Had Hand Surgery On 5 Fingers (2 On

I have had hand surgery on 5 fingers (2 on right, 3 on left) including both thumbs for locking joints, and also my wrists for carpal tunnel. Am having joints lock up a lot now, and have been diagnosed with Hyper mobile joints. My left pinkie finger has a lump on the inside that the hand Dr. said is a swan neck deformity. My primary suggests seeing a rheumatologist. I am a 58 yr old female, in good health. Small boned and frame, 5' 1' 120 lbs. Active and do A LOT with my hands. I had right knee meniscus surgery on Dec 8th (torn) and that Dr.found no indication of the hyper mobile joint syndrome, and everything I read tells me this would occur in other joints, as well as my hands. Who do I see for help? I am told this is a degenerative problem. I want to protect the mobility I have left.
