Hi,
Normal WBC count varies from 4-11 thousand in adults and 12.1 is mildly raised due to mild raise in lymphocytes. High C reactive protein indicates active inflammation and history of pain and swelling in fingers could be the cause.

The results are not to be worried about except for C-reactive protein. Correlation with possible arthritis in fingers needs to be related to.
If more details are available (clinical history, x ray findings, other investigations for antibodies), I could help you more.
Any further queries, happy to help you again.
