My rheumatologist diagnosed me with Erosive Osteo-arthritis recently. My right hand is more critical. Progressive worsening over 2 year from 2 fingers to 4, also basal thumb area. I did the blood test and it is not RA. He mentioned no cure for EOA currently. The only treatment is to put me on Hydroxychloroquine(Plaquenil) for now. We went through common the side effects and I am nervous about it. Anyone in the group is taking this medication? Appreciate your thoughts. Thank you.

I was just diagnosed in August. i’m having trouble finding any medical person that really does anything or seems to care. I have finally found a physical therapist that has suggested PT on it with a hand specialist. I am working with the acupuncturist. He does seem to help. he has said there’s a kind of a painful way we can work on it a little bit more. I’m considering that I would like to keep in contact with you to see about your medication and let you know about my acupuncture and PT. how bad has it affected your two fingers it seems to have affected all my digits not bad but to some degree and two on my right hand are getting stiff and crooked. Thanks for answering.
