[|Human|] My knuckles on my right hand are suddenly sore and becomes painful when I try to close my hand to make a fist.  Its more intense with middle finger but spreads to the 3 middle ones. I am only 41, could this be arthritis already? It suddenly came on.
[|AI|]  Hi, I suggest you ask your physician for some investigations including SUA, RH factor, ASCOT title, urinalysis because it may have many causes like arthritis, gout, and rheumatoid. Anyway I think some topical gels with Advil tabs with the addition of Acetaminophen will be enough till you get your results and the confirmed evaluation by your physician is diagnosed. Treatments wouldn't change a lot, but you have to treat it now for further consequences and complications. Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.
