What kind of Arthritis makes your fingers crooked ?

What is the type of Arthritis that works in your fingers? My little finger of my left hand, is curling up or getting crooked, its made my hand and fingers weak, and now it is getting into my ring finger,that outer part of my hand is numb, tingling, asleep,and the same feeling of numbness , or asleep feeling is also in my little finger and it seems like its also getting into my ring finger. 3 weeks ago this happened and then it started getting some what better, my little finger even seemed to relax that it would straighten out more and then yesterday its back again, I am right handed, so I use my right hand more. I cant type or count money using my left hand or fingers like a month &1/2 ago. The Change will fall out of my hand , and typing with my little finger I don't use it. My finger will straighten with force but to hold out my hands and fingers straight out , it will not do it. I have been to the Dr. He gave me Medicine for inflamation, it didn't help. I have no Medical Insurance . I guess due to the fact I dont have insurance and can't afford all the blood work I have to do the best I can for nowThank You. Can you give me the name of what kind it COULD BE PLEASE ?

admin 		Various types of auto-immune diseases can cause you fingers to be crooked. Most often it is rheumatoid arthritis. If it was rheumatoid arthritis thin it would be effecting all of your fingers. The numbness and singling is most likely not from arthritis unless it is in your neck. Most often numbness and tingling in your hands either has to do with either nerves being effect by pressure being put on them in your cervical spine or carpel tunnel syndrome.
