Brief Answer:
This can be arthritis.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your query I will like to tell you that there is a possibility that it may be the beginning of arthritis , this needs to be seen whether its rheumatoid arthritis or dactylitis . You will need to see a rheumatologist at earliest . Also you should take some antiinflammatory drug like naproxen 500 mg twice daily which will make swelling subside but after consulting your treating doctor. If its possible please send a pic of the swollen fingers . Any other query please ask .

Take care.

Dr. Shruti
