Fingers aren t working very well.
Hello I have studied your case. As per your history of rheumatoid arthritis there is possibility of rheumatoid nodule. There is no need to worry about swelling this will not be harmful. If swelling leads to nerve compression thenyou mmay need treatment. For rheumatoid arthritis diet plays important role in reducing symptoms. I hope I have answered your questions. If you have further questions please feel free to contact us. I will be happy to answer. Take care.
