This basically indicates that there is a pain and inflammation of the small joints. These are the smaller joints where there is pain. The commonest reason for this is a trauma. There is a major trauma and a minor trauma based on the history we will be able to know and based on the examination we will be able to know whether it is a trauma related , but more so common with a spontaneous pain in the hand joint and the finger joints is called as inflammatory arthritis were there area different arthritis of the inflammatory arthritis. The commonest in the inflammatory arthritis is the post viral. Of late we see a lot of small joint arthritis following viral fever. After sometimes the patient will find pain in the fingers and the joints and there will be morning stiffness and we will feel more so pain in the morning. As you keep using the finger joints, you will feel better these are the classical signs and there are more serious forms of reactive arthritis or more severe forms of inflammatory arthritis, it can be classified as rheumatoid arthritis. But that has to be labeled based on the ACL criteria. So I would suggest you to visits an orthopedic surgeon or a rheumatologist whether any of the serious inflammatory arthritis is present there or not.
