The German Rheumatism Society says that arthritis of the fingers has several causes, such as genetic factors or excessive stress of the fingers or bruises, noting that it particularly attacks women.
The association pointed out that the symptoms of arthritis of the fingers are the stiffness of the fingers in the morning and swelling with pain in them, stressing the need to consult a doctor urgently, since the inflammation may cause deformity of the joints of the fingers and make them unable to move, which leads to restrictions Kinetics.
Early arthritis can be treated with daily finger exercises, which maintain joint flexibility. In advanced stages, surgery may be required.
