hi, u may be suffering from rheumatoid arthritis if u have morning stiffness for more one hour & stiffness decreases following some activity ,bilateral symetrical hand joint involvement ( sparing distal most finger joint ) . This diagnosis of RA can be made BY doing some blood test like RA factor, Anti- ccp antibody test, c-reactive protein, ESR. Beside thease Xray also done .If diagnosis is made, then u have to take NSAIDS, DMARD, Biological agents or combination of this with physiotherapy and lifstyle modification.
