Arthritis in the Hand
 |
This morning my fingers were aching. On my right hand, my middle finger has a ?knot? at the base of it, and it hurts. Could that be arthritis? |

A picture is indeed worth a thousand words-- but your description seems like it could be arthritis. If these symptoms persist more than a few weeks, then a trip to a rheuamtologist would be reasonable. |
