Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for suing healthcare magic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
This picture looks like arthritis of hands so I would suggest to do blood test and xray of the hands. Depending on the results you should take proper treatment from rheumatology specialist.
