Arthritis in the Hand

Question  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?
 
Answer  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.
