Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have bumps in knuckle of pointer finger . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like rheumatoid arthritis causes the bump, it is known as a Bouchard's node , Heberden's node , Gout and ganglion cyst . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper diagnosis . Doctor may order X-ray , CT scan , blood test and physical examination . Doctor may remove the bump through surgical or nonsurgical treatment , nonsurgical treatment includes a cortisone injection into the bump . Doctor may remove surgically under local anesthesia .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
