A member asked:

I have sore fingers/joints ouch! dr said it's probably ra what can i do to prevent it and my bones look bad in fingers :( what can i do ? sore!

Must treat: "Probably RA" sets off an alarm. You MUST find out if it is rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as RA is a treatable disease that can lead to deformity and disability if not promptly treated. The best doctor to see is a rheumatologist.
