What is Degenerative Arthritis?

Degenerative Arthritis, also called Osteoarthritis, typically affects the fingers, causing pain in the joints furthest from the hand. Symptoms tend to flare up, fade away, and return again. During periods of discomfort, splinting, anti-inflammatory medications, heat and ice, and cortisone injections can be helpful to address these concerns. In the event minimally invasive techniques prove ineffective or the pain worsens over time, surgery may help you to achieve longer-lasting relief.
