I m 60 years and over the past six months I developed pain in my fingers first my right hand then my left hand. Some mornings I can t unbend my fingers. They ache through out the day which causes my hands to ache. It hurts to hold a comb or the steering wheel. The side of some of my fingers is tender to touch also the palm of my hands at the joints.
