Hi Par,
Thanks for the query.
Yes the knuckle of index finger & 3rd carpo pharyngeal joint &two adjescent joints are swollen.
It can be due to-
-Low calcium or vit D in blood,
-trauma,sprain to the hand,
-joint swelling as an early stage of arthritis (Rheumatoid or may be gout ) -Can be allergic ...barring for the itching it always has.
You need to have a second opinion with investigations as per need to find the cause&specific medicines.
please consult a physician for physical examination &his expert advise after investigations as per need.
I hope that answers your query.any follow up query is welcome.
Thanks.
