Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Finger Joints
over the last 6 months I have had swelling in my knuckles. I had a mass removed from my bigest mass benign. no rheumatoid arthritis. My doctors say it is a mass on the tendon sheath. what causes this and what else could it be? My doctors say they can not help me. I feel really tired and had Iron infusions 4 months ago. also befor the swelling on my nuckles I had a allergic reaction in which my whole body swelled up and I had a rash.

Hi,
Both of these simple methods can ease RA pain and stiffness. Use a warm, moist compress (or towel or heating pad) on your fingers and hands for 15 minutes before you exercise. To reduce swelling, use ice packs. Put an ice pack on the painful joint for 10 to 15 minutes at a time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
