Deformities from RA

2017-07-03 17:38:51
I've been suffering with RA for the past 7 years and have been on DMARD medication. However, my fingers and toes have been deformed substantially and my left knee has been affected. Is it possible at all to reverse the deformations to some extent and can someone suggest a good Rheumatologist who can help me out with this and stop disease progress?
