Suggest Remedy For Pain In Joint In Middle Finger
Hi Doctor Samuel! I am 47 years old and for the last week I have been experiencing pain in the join in my middle finger. I did not injure it in any way and I’m wondering if it s the beginning stages of arthritis. My brother has been diagnosed with gout and I want to make sure that’s not what I have going on.

dear friend
a single joint involvement is usually due to strain sprain and injury, if you are sure none of the three are the reason and have a family history of gout , please get your serum uric acid checked which will clear the issue. if that too is normal then there is a strong possibility you strained the joint unknowingly and if given proper rest it will resolve.
