According to the Journal of Rheumatology, hand surgeons and rheumatologists often disagree on whether medication or surgery is indicated to treat rheumatoid arthritis. About 70 percent of rheumatologists consider hand surgeons deficient in their understanding of the medical options available to treat rheumatoid arthritis, while a similar percentage of surgeons believe rheumatologists lack knowledge of the surgical options for hands affected by rheumatoid arthritis. MedicineNet reports that the lack of consensus in part is due to minimal interdisciplinary training between surgeons and rheumatologists.

I had a hand therapy specialist after surgery on my hands, and I saw results using the Max Powers Scar Serum. My scaring was very minimal, compared to others, who had similar surgeries, I had 6, on my left hand. I rubbed the cream in and kept it moist. A year later, it is hardly visible to the naked eye. I have to look hard to find the scars. Previous surgeries, did not do as well, I didn’t use the cream. Had surgery this year, again. Using the scar serum. It helps for dry skin as well.
