Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Thumb
Recently my thumb has hurt. Today I was unable to write using my right hand. I have issues with my ankles as well. I ve tried a brace, orthotics, a boot and steroids. The steroids helped for a short time, but the pain returned as the steroids wore off. I have recurring issues with other joints as well. Could this be RA?

Hi,
Pain in thumb after injury or pain in ankle joint does not mean that you have RA.
I suggest you get the blood tests for arthritis and consult an orthopedic surgeon for the thumb injury.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel,
