Could Painful White And Red Spots On Joints Be A Sign Of Arthritis?
My hand and joints have been bothering me lately...I cannot fully extend or close my hand and my knuckles are sometimes red and there are white spots forming on a few of them. They are also very sensitive too. If I bang them accidentally they are very painfull. Is this a form of arthritis?
