Heberden's nodes - #22048

Elizabeth

Hello, I have osteoarthritis and have developed Heberden's nodes in my fingers. My rheumatologist told me there is nothing that will help me and because I have pain in other areas of my hands & body, he gave me steroid shots. I have stopped going to him because I do not want to have steroid injections anymore and I’m hoping for a more holistic approach to my health. Is there hope for me?

Age: 65

Chronic illnesses: Asthma and osteoarthritis
