Brief Answer:
?? Most probably rheumatoid nodules requiring medical attention

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Although you mentioned not experiencing pain; the bumps that are slowly more visible on the joints of your fingers are quite possibly rheumatoid nodules which are related to arthritis.

Although pain and stiffness also occur with these nodule, it is still possible that they are in the early stages where pain hasn't set in yet. For this reason, I would recommend a visit to your doctor in order to rule out/confirm arthritis and seek medical help in which ever way you need it sir.

I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
