| Question: | What is the cause of stiff and sore finger joints in the morning? |
| Answer: | The two most likely explanations are overuse of the fingers the night before in tasks such as typing or playing the piano, or one of the many different types of arthritis that can attack the finger joints—the most common being nodal arthritis and rheumatoid atthritis. In older people, rheumatoid arthritis is more likely, but unfortunately this condition cannot be cuted or prevented.
Rheumatoid arthritis can be very effectively controlled, and it is very important for sufferers to receive appropriate medical care as soon as possible to ensure that adequate control is achieved. |
