What Causes Joint Pains In The Fingers With Headaches And Nausea?

Hi, these past few days, I ve been experiencing joint pains on the fingers of my left hand, followed shortly by pulsating headache, usually at the back of my head. This is accompanied with mild nausea and sensitivity to light. The throbbing headache would last for about a day or two. Can you please tell me what s wrong? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to healthcare magic!

Do you have difficulties when moving your head forward (trying to touch your chestbone witn chin) ? You have to see an infectionist because this photosensitivity accompanied by nausea and headache can be signs of serious disease known as meningitis! Be very careful and see a doctor because some additional tests will show for sure ( liquor fluid testing with lumbar punction) !
