Hello,
It seems related to arthrosis or possible carpal tunnel syndrome. However, if I was your caring doctor, would recommend a series of tests to determine the right diagnosis:
- Doppler ultrasound of blood vessels of the hands and arm
- X-ray examination of the hands
- Diabetes testing
- Complete blood count and biochemistry study
After analyzing the results, we can decide for best treatment strategy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
