rheumatoid arthritis is very common. it invariably effects hands and feet. fingernails are not effected directly but rheumatoid arthritis causes painful noduled under the skin. these nodules in small joints of hands cause deformities in fingers, most common being swan neck and boutonniere deformity. in the after effects of these deformities cause nails to look damaged because of lack of nutrition and under use of fingers. hope that answers the question.

Yes. My mother has Rheumatoid arthritis, and her nails are now starting to be affected. Hers look like they are becoming brittle.

ASK YOUR DOCTOR. ALOT OF TIMES YOU CAN REALLY TELL THE HEALTH OF APERSON BY LOOKING AT THE FINGER NAILS. THERE IS ALOT TO THIS. SICKNESS CAN CAUSE DEFORMITIES IN NAILS. ALSO MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE A NAIL FUNGUS
