What can i do if my dad is in pain from osteoarthritis in his hand what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many options: Depending on where the arthritis is, he can have injections (steroid) or even surgery can help. Sometimes we replace the joints, but other times we can fuse them so that the pain goes away. Have him see a hand orthopedic specialist.
