See a rheumatologist about the swelling, prednisone will bring the swelling down.

A healthy diet is key to all of this . Cut down on sugars processed foods and eat more raw fruits and veggies. Stress also plays a role. If your ra doctor can't find the solution or you feel uncomfortable move on. I have it in my knees and shoulders but it's under control. When I started I couldn't sleep or get into my suv but now it's very manageable.

I went to Pt and learned to do different exercise.

For the swelling and stiffness.

You can run fingers under very warm water. And then under cold water for stiffness.

I got a tube sock that slides over my hand and goes up my arm and stops 3" before my elbow. It's not extremely tight but snug. I cut a hole in the side for my thumb to go thru it. This helps keep my hand and wrist swelling down. You can order a big roll of it on Amazon. Exercise is good for stiffness, in warm water😀

Hope this helps you.
