What Causes Pain In The Wrists And Fingers?
My husband is experiencing pain in his joints, wrist, fingers, knees, ankles. His hands, fingers and wrists swell. Sometimes hands feel warmer than usual. Any ideas what it might be? He has been to see a doctor, they put him on steroids for a few refills but it just comes back.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
According to your symptoms it is mostly like arthritis so the steroids are the treatment of choice. I suggest you to take up physiotherapy and regular exercise with hot or cold compression gives you good result.
