As it is, long term steroids aren't encouraged these days in rheumatoid arthritis. Better treatment options are available now. So I suggest to book a consultation with me & take proper treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Regarding vaccination, well it's safe for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, including covid-19 vaccination.

It is advisable to put hot packs on your wrist and finger. Also, you need to do wrist and fingers exercises which will help to relieve pain and stiffness. Basically aim of your treatment plan would be reducing symptoms and slowing the disease progression.
If you wanna know exactly what exercise you must do then you must consult physiotherapist (online consultation is also fine).
