Hi there,

Thanks for the query,

Is there associated stiffness of the joint as well, it could be arthritis. Other causes can be ligament or tendon injury if there was any kind of trauma.

You can get an x-ray of the hands to confirm arthritis if there are features of joint stiffness or joint swelling.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
