What Causes Swelling On The Back Of The Hand?
I have a swelling which occurs on my back side of my right hand palm and tends to bend it inwards but when i take prednisone and diclofenac it subsides and after many days comes again. What is it Doctor? What other medicines do you suggest for me apart from the ones i use since they erode my stomach?
