Hi,

This kind of symptoms is common after the age of 50 years especially in patients who do a lot of work with hands. This is because of the laxity of ligaments of small hand joints. So better to consult orthopaedic doctor and get done X-ray of hands. If X-ray is normal then no need to worry much. Start calcium and vitamin d 3 supplements.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
