Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Knuckle
The knuckles of both hands hurt. There is some swelling. I can not close my fingers to touch my palms. I am 79 years old and would like to learn to play golf. Can you recommend some kind of treatment. Could I be eating some of the wrong foods? I do not recall having this problem one year ago. Thank You
