Inflammation of hand and wrist joints can be infectious or non-infectious. The most common <\/strong>cause of non-infectious inflammation of small hand and wrist joints is rheumatoid arthritis<\/strong>. Exhaustion, weakness, lack of appetite and higher temperature<\/strong> are among the first symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inflammation inside the joint causes swelling, pain and stiffness<\/strong>. The skin in the area tends to be warmer to the touch, and if the inflammation lasts a long time, it leads to damage to the cartilage and bone, so that there is destruction to the bone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In most severe cases, layers of the articular surface disappear. That leads to deformities of the joint – <\/strong>such as when fingers turn towards the little-finger-side of the hand. Osteophytes also might grow on the finger joints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is a disorder of the autoimmune system.<\/strong> The disease restricts the patient in performing everyday activities and can lead to permanent disability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The risk factors for development of rheumatoid arthritis are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Treatment of infectious inflammation <\/strong>of hand or wrist joints is managed by administering drugs <\/strong>for eliminating the specific determined agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis<\/strong> is based on reducing pain and decelerating progression of the disease. <\/strong>Disease Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARDs), non-steroid anti-rheumatics and corticosteroids are administered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Support treatment may consist of ultrasound therapy, laser, polarised light, galvanisation or thermotherapy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Adjustments to patient\u2019s environment and lifestyle are therapeutically important.
