Brief Answer:
Can be arthritis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the finger joint that you have is likely to be due to arthritis. It can be related to rheumatoid arthritis. It is best to get a few investigations done like-
1. Serum calcium levels.
2. Serum Uric acid levels.
3. RA factor
4. ESR and CRP
5. Serum Creatinine
6. X-ray of affected joint.
You need a thorough clinical examination followed by investigations under the guidance of an orthopedician.
Till then for symptomatic relief, you can take over the counter analgesics, do hot fomentation and apply local analgesic gel on the affected areas.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
