Hi, it appears to be the arthritis, of inter phalyngeal, and metacarpo phalyngeal joints. or may be bursitis.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and ofloxacin, and antiinflamatories.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods. Thank you.
