My fingers look like they are going in 'different directions' and if you feel my fingers you can feel the different joints in the fingers.
Is there anything that I can do to stop it?

Hello ph2 if that happening to your joints that means the medication 💊 stop working/ you need different medication or increase dose/or add on medication. See your rheumatologist soon to check your inflammation level.
if i am on drugs, and develop swan neck fingers, does that mean my meds arent enough and i am supposed to increase the poisen?
Hi everyone I know what you mean. My pinky is curving inward both of them. My body is going to start changing it's going to do what it wants. The inflammation is really hard to control 😪
Prednisone helps but the affects are bad
I don't want to take it, but it's the only thing that helps, not much but I can tolerate the pain. I have been on prednisone for over 9 years. They took me off of it for 6 months and now I'm back on it go figure.
I'm hopping you all have a great evening
Ph2 good question. I am looking for answers myself.
