Hello,
Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) commonly affect joints of the fingers. Trauma or injury to the finger, such as bruises, dislocations, and fractures of bone are all common causes of finger pain. Infection of the skin or other tissues of the finger is a less common cause of finger pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
