The : The symptoms that you are describing are concerning for arthritis in the hands. This could be related to inflammatory arthritis (such as rheumatoid arthritis), degenerative arthritis (osteoarthritis) or other conditions. It is important to be evaluated asap to determine the cause. Rheumatoid arthritis can lead to permanant joint damage within 4-8 weeks if not diagnosed and treated properly. Whatever the cause, a rheumatologist should be able to make a diagnosis and prescribe appropriate treatment.
