Hi,
Thanks for asking. I understand your concern.
Your sore finger joints can be due to arthritis or calcium &/vitamin D deficiency.
You need pathological tests - Rheumatic factor/ serum calciuym / serum vitamin D estimation to know the cause
A physician will help you with specific medication & advise.
Thanks.
