Brief Answer:
Please consider these guidelines or you should consult a rheumatologist
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Looking at your description only left hand involvement can be related to nerve impingement
I would like to see your MRI and other reports for a conclusive advise.
Morning stiffness with joint pain can be caused by number of disease like connective tissue disorder or neurological disease
Since I can't physically examine you to get more clues about your present condition So I would advise you to consult a rheumatologist fro detailed clinical examination and a definitive treatment
Physiotherapy can be add on to your further management
Hope this answers your question Please feel free to ask for more clarification with all relevant reports, I will be happy to help you
wish you good health and speedy recovery.
Regards
