Hand and Finger Joints: Diagnosis and Care at RadCare

Hand and finger joints are common sites for wear and degenerative changes with aging, a condition known as finger joint osteoarthritis. Additionally, these joints may also be affected by rheumatoid conditions such as:

1. Rheumatoid Arthritis:
   • An autoimmune disease causing chronic joint inflammation.
2. Psoriatic Arthritis:
   • A condition associated with psoriasis that leads to joint inflammation and swelling.

Common Symptoms

• Pain and stiffness in the joints, especially in the morning.
• Swelling and redness in the affected areas.
• Reduced ability to move the hands and fingers naturally.

Diagnosis at RadCare

1. X-Ray Imaging:
   • To evaluate bone changes and deformities in the joints.
2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI):
   • To detect inflammation and assess the condition of soft tissues and tendons.
3. Blood Tests:
   • Tests such as Rheumatoid Factor (RF) and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) to diagnose rheumatoid diseases.
