Hi, u may be suffering from rheumatoid arthritis if u have morning stiffness for more one hour & stiffness decreases following some activity, bilateral symmetrical hand joint involvement (sparing distal most finger joint) . This diagnosis of RA can be made BY doing some blood test like RA factor, Anti- CCP antibody test, c-reactive protein, ESR. Beside these X-ray also done. If diagnosis is made, then u have to take NSAIDs, DM ARD, Biological agents or combination of this with physiotherapy and lifestyle modification.
