Accepted Answer

: Since you don't describe joint swelling or redness or history of morning joint aches or stiffness, I don't think you're dealing with rheumatoid arthritis. Rather,I think your current discomfort is from an overuse syndrome &amp;expect symptoms to gradually resolve after resting your hands. If you still have concerns,consult your MD or a rheumatologist for evaluation. Appropriate testing can be ordered
