Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

What I can infer from your complaints is that, you are getting finger joint stiffness post your work.

Although you have not told me your age, this is common after doing heavy work in some individuals. I suggest you to take it easy for a few days and then decide how it goes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar
