Brief Answer:
Yes there is a possibility
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Yes there is a possibility that this is rheumatoid arthritis especially if you have underlying joint pains and swelling.
There should be a further check up with esr and anti ccp.
This is a chronic disease fully controllable with medication but it is not possible to get rid of it completely.
I suggest see your rheumatologist and get started with the proper medication.
