Answer 1

Yes that's how my rheumatoid arthritis started too, with both middle fingers swelling and sore. You need to be referred to a bone and joint specialist as soon as possible as they can stop this ugly disease from spreading. So the sooner you get seen to the better as its only going to keep on spreading. Cheers and good luck.

Answer 2

It could still be a form of arthritis (the most common kind comes from regular use of the joints) as one possibility but the only way to know for sure what is going on is to have this evaluated by your dr to see what they think is going on.

Answer 3

this is a case of infectious arthritis
you might wanna see a doctor
they might keep you in the hospital
surgery to drain fluid or foreign matieral introduced by an injury.
theyll give you physical therapy after recovery to regain full use of the joint
you should call your doctor immediatley.

Answer 4

If you haven't injured it,you had better see your doctor,rheumatoid arthritis can start in fingers or feet first and needs prompt treatment ,hope it's not that though.
