Which is more harmful: pain on the joints or inflammation? i have ra is there any safe exercise for hands and fingers?

See details: This is like saying which it better, chocolate or vanilla. Pain is the result of inflammation or damage. Have your doctor refer you to a hand therapist if one is available. Otherwise, google 'hand exercises for rheumatoid arthritis.'.
