what makes my fingers hurt at the joints
Finger joints may also be prone to injury, especially during sports. Joint pain in the fingers is also a common symptom of both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. In fact, rheumatoid arthritis â which affects most active joints in the body â generally starts at the fingers where the joints are more delicate.
Stiffness can affect any jointâ the fingers and hands, wrists, elbows, knees, ankles, feet, shoulders, hips, and even the jaw. Other signs and symptoms in addition to the inflammation and stiffness will help your doctor figure out what kind of arthritis you have.
