Doctors’ responses

If your mother has arthritis for many years and now has difficulty moving the last two fingers of her right hand, it could be due to nerve compression, joint deformity, or muscle weakness caused by the progression of arthritis. Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA), or nerve-related issues like ulnar nerve compression (cubital tunnel syndrome) may be responsible. Since arthritis is a progressive condition, the fingers may have developed stiffness, swelling, or joint damage, affecting their movement. To help her, consult a rheumatologist or orthopedic specialist for a proper diagnosis. X-rays, nerve conduction tests, or MRI scans may be needed to assess joint damage and nerve function. Treatment may include physical therapy, splinting, hand exercises, pain-relief medications, or steroid injections to reduce inflammation. If there is severe joint damage or nerve compression, surgical options like tendon repair or nerve release might be considered. Meanwhile, ensure she maintains a healthy diet rich in omega-3s, calcium, and vitamin D, and practices gentle hand exercises to prevent further stiffness.
