hi
thank-you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough clinical examination is advised.
as you have pain in the upper limbs including the small joints of finger we can look for a RA factor and this can be found via a RA test. Also, if the pain is traveling in nature we need to see for a cervical spine and do a thorough examination.
Post which we can understand the actual root cause. This are the two test required to figure out the root problems and diagnosis.
