Hi. I have OA in several joints: knees, fingers, wrists, and presumably also in my feet. My question is concerning my foot.

My hand is quite deformed fingers seem to stick together. Arthritis still active, are there any treatments i.e operations injection you can have to give me more function or do you need to wait until meds have stopped the active arthritus. Thanks
My hands were x rayed because I think I have psoriatic arthritis. I'm seeing rheumatologist next week (through Benenden). The x-ray report queries erosive or osteo arthritis.
