Have you visited your doctor and ask for some advice about it? I read a page about it and I think you need to undergo some tests to see how severe or not arthritis affected your fingers. You can read handtoelbow.com/finger-mp-joint/ for more information.

No medication is completely safe, and the potential risk of side effects can be frightening. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease of unknown cause.

There is no cure for the joints curved due to rheumatoid arthritis. Only thing which could be done is to avoid further damage and reduce the pain. Some joint exercises can be helpful in reducing stiffness of joints. Yoga and Tai Chi are also very helpful in arthritis.

I think it is safe to say that you should visit a doctor first in order to have the right medications for you.
