I have some mild arthritis in my hands. About 3 weeks ago i developed pain, mainly in my left ring finger. Pretty painful, I even had to have my wedding rings cut off. Mainly in my ring finger, it is swollen and hard to bend. It goes into my hand and some up my arm.

Hello,

Thanks for writing to Health Care magic, I am Dr , Muhammad Ahmad , I have read your question closely, I understand your concern and will be helping you with your health related problem.

It sounds like your arthritis has flared up some how ..the best thing you can do in this regard is to take OTC anti inflammatory treatment at home like Tablet ibuprofen 400mg twice a day and get icind done every 4 hourly, this being said it is advised to visit your doctor to get it checked up , he might want to get some blood works and scans done to see the severity plus he can start or alter your prescription drugs accroding to the situation.



I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you.
