What Causes A Painful Lump In The Knuckle?

I am a 70 year old white female with a soft firm pink bump size of a small green pea that suddenly erupted 4 months ago on top of my knuckle ( second knuckle back from the fingernail) on left hand, middle finger. It is not causing pain or restriction of movement. Another 2nd one of same description is starting up now , but still very smaller, on the next finger ( pointing finger) in the same location as of the first bump. Is this arthritis? Thankyou, Carol.

HI,Dear,Carol Mdm.Very Good NOON from India.Thanks for your query.I understand your concerns.I studied your query in depth.
-I would advise you not to worry still.In my opinion the painful lump in the 2nd and 3rd middle-knuckles is -mostyl Rheumatoid Arthritis- /or could be due to digital mucosus cysts of the small joints common at this age? or Granuloma annulare-T cell granulomas around small joints.
-Treatment-would be -Consult a ER Physician/ Rhumatologist doctor- who treat it as per the cause of the digital lumps.
-Hope this relieves your worry-some query. Wellcome for anymore queries in time to come.Have a Good Day.
