If you can't bend your fingers and have nodules and puffiness, it could be related to rheumatoid arthritis. Here are some steps you can take:
- Contact Your Provider: If the problem continues after 1 week of home treatment, or if you have severe pain, numbness, or tingling, it's important to see a healthcare provider.
- Physical Exam: Your provider will likely perform a physical exam, including looking at your hand and finger movement.
- X-ray: You may need an x-ray to determine the cause of the problem.
- Treatment: Treatment will depend on the cause. For rheumatoid arthritis, common treatments include DMARDs, NSAIDs, biologics, JAK inhibitors, and steroids.
- Splints: For mild deformities, ring splints may be recommended to help correct the deformity while allowing finger movement.
Always follow your provider's instructions for self-care and treatment.
