That’s a big question. In the hands OA tends to affect the the DIP and PIP whereas on RA the MCP joints tend to be affected. If you have any concerns that you might have RA then you need to see a doctor.
No I’m afraid it’s not reversible but No … doing this sort of exercise will not make the bumps worse and will very likely help reduce and pain and stiffness. Learn to love the finger bumps. They are unique to you.
I like your relaxed, non-aggressive way of talking.
Thanks v much. I’ve always found that aggression is a bad trait for a health care professional 😂

Just done recently. Hope this answers your question ua-cam.com/video/ZvVi3vonxOg/v-deo.htmlsi=HBcpW2e_3ODEsL0-
Is the thickening of the fingerjoints reversible?
I am a knitter and crocheter....does this makes the thickening of the fingerjoints worse?

Thats very sweet.....but they keep ugly.
Still....there are heavier things we have to deal with when we grow older.
