How Can Joint Deformities Due To Arthritis Be Treated?
It seems that I have exactly what is described here, but am very hesitant to take this Embreiel as the side effects frighten me. My right wrist has a cyst and a finger on my left hand, as well. Both fingers are distorted from arthritis. Am at a loss at the present. YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
Yes, enternecept has many side effects. But if benefits outweigh risks in rheumatoid arthritis then you have to use this medication.
In arthritis associated with deformities may need surgery in a few patients. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
