#Rheumatoid Arthritis Hand Ulnar Deviation Deformity

📌 Boutonnière Deformity – Rheumatoid Arthritis 🔹 Caused by central slip extensor tendon rupture at the PIP joint 🔹 Leads to PIP flexion + DIP hyperextension 🔹 Common in Rheumatoid Arthritis due to chronic synovitis 🔹 Results in loss of finger extension & impaired grip 🧠 Remember: “Buttonhole” appearance of the finger = Boutonnière #RheumatoidArthritis #BoutonniereDeformity #Orthopaedics #MedicineReels #Pathology #ClinicalSigns #MedicalStudents #MedEd #MBBS #InternLife #handdeformities

When a rheumatoid arthritis flare hits the hands, it’s not just pain — it’s inflammation taking over. The hands can become red, swollen, tight, and sore, sometimes overnight. Rings feel stuck. Fingers feel stiff. Even gentle movement hurts. Tasks that should be simple — gripping, typing, opening a lid — suddenly feel exhausting. This happens because RA is an autoimmune condition. During a flare, the immune system mistakenly attacks the lining of the joints. In the hands, this creates excess inflammation and fluid buildup, compressing nerves and restricting movement. Blood flow changes. Tissues swell. Fascia tightens. The hands feel hot, puffy, and achy because the body is literally stuck in an inflammatory loop. And here’s the part many people don’t realize 👇 Food can be a major trigger. Certain foods — especially sugar, refined carbs, alcohol, seed oils, dairy, and ultra-processed foods — can spike systemic inflammation. When inflammation rises in the gut, it doesn’t stay there. It travels. For someone with RA, that can mean hands flaring first. That’s why staying consistent with an anti-inflammatory diet isn’t optional — it’s protective. Real foods. Hydration. Mineral-rich meals. Supporting the gut helps calm the immune response and reduce the frequency and intensity of flares. But diet alone isn’t always enough... When the lymphatic system becomes sluggish, inflammatory waste and excess fluid don’t clear properly. That congestion can worsen swelling, pressure, and stiffness in the hands — keeping the flare stuck longer than it needs to be. This is where lymphatic care becomes POWERFUL. ⬇️ ✨ The Big 6 helps stimulate lymph flow daily ✨ Vibration plate therapy gently pumps lymph and reduces stagnation ✨ Castor oil supports inflammation reduction and tissue softening ✨ Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage manually moves deep lymph, reduces swelling, and helps calm the nervous system — which is critical during flares This isn’t about “pampering.” This is about helping your body clear what’s inflaming it. ✨ There is relief when inflammation is addressed at the root. ✨ There is movement when lymph starts to flow again. #lymphaticsystem #autoimmune

This is autoimmune. Not just “a bit of pain”… Not just “feeling tired”… This is swollen hands, burning joints, tendons screaming, and trying to act like you’re fine. This is waking up already exhausted. This is fighting your own body every single day. And the worst part? Most people can’t see it… so they don’t understand it.#chronicpain #autoimmunedisease #rheumatoid #chronicillnesswarrior #rheumatoidarthritiswarrior

Tingling in your ring and little finger? That’s your ulnar nerve. It runs behind your elbow through a tight space called the cubital tunnel. Too much bending… leaning… or pressure… = compression. That’s why you feel: ⚡ Tingling ⚡ Numbness ⚡ Weakness Ignoring it makes it worse. You need: ✔️ Less pressure ✔️ Better positioning ✔️ Gentle movement Fix it early.

Here are examples of 2 different patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Both at baseline and 10 years later. The 1st patient was not on any therapy and the 2nd patient was on treatment.

A artrite reumatoide é uma doença que causa dor nas articulações das mãos, dos pés, joelhos, cotovelos, ombros… Essas dores são acompanhadas de uma rigidez, em especial quando se fica um certo tempo em repouso. A artrite reumatoide não tem cura, mas tem tratamento (e muitos tratamentos super modernos e excelentes). Não aceite sentir dor. Procure uma reumatologista! ☝🏼

How Your Forearm Bones (Radius and Ulna) Look When you Twist Your Arm Radius (Thumb Side) Ulna (Pinky Side) Pronation: Rotating your palm down (thumb towards the body) forces the radius to twist over the ulna. Supination (Neutral Position): The radius and ulna are somewhat parallel. When the thumb turns down (palm down), they cross.
