Early symptoms include tenderness, swelling, and impaired mobility, impacting daily activities and overall quality of life. Diagnosis involves clinical exams and blood tests, such as the rheumatoid arthritis blood test. Without early intervention, arthritis can cause joint deformity and permanent loss of hand function. Treatment focuses on pain relief, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments, with recovery timelines varying by case. Preventive measures include regular exercise, joint protection, and healthy nutrition, while prompt medical attention is advised for worsening symptoms. Surgery may be considered if conservative treatments fail. Comprehensive management is essential to maintain hand function and reduce complications.
