Hi In Dec. my little finger just stopped working, it was useless, saw a surgeon, I did not know RA ruptured tendons, Jan 6 had a tendon transferee surgery still working on range of motion, Sept, will be having same surgery on left hand, this time tendon rupture of my thumb .

I am sorry to hear this pain is chronic, can you be referred to a pain management specialist? Hope you get some relief.

I'm afraid I've done these steps many times. The pain is chronic.

Hi Kristin
Is your Rheumatologist aware of your pain in your tendons?
