Hi there. Do you have Raynaud's or scleroderma? It might be best if you speak to your GP if you are concerned. Thanks. RSA.

Arthritis very possibly.

If the pain continues see your GP and ask to be referred to a rheumatologist. It could be linked to arthritis but a blood test may help to get a diagnosis.

All the best

Hey, I would say Arthritis.

Could be a little arthritis if you have not had an injury. You would need to see a specialist and have tests done to determine the cause of your discomfort. Talk to your doctor about it and try not to worry. Good luck!
