A member asked:

I have ra and my right hand has deformed .. is there and medical way to get it back to normal ?!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: I depends on the type of deformity and if joint damage is present. Most, time effective medical control of the RA will help prevent progression of the problem. You may want to see a hand therapist as well.
