A member asked:
Sore joints and fingers and thumb, could it be a tendon thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly but rather: Improbable, as there is no single tendon going to all fingers or the thumb. Sounds more lie some arthritis, gout or pseudogout, unless a crush injury to the whole hand has affected multiple fingers/thumb. Do get yourself checked by an orthopod or a hand surgeon. Your pcp can help direct you in the right way. Good luck.

My finger joints started to be stiff in the mornings and when I bend them it aches (not thumbs). Maybe related, I started to do intense monkey bar exercises. After 10 minutes the fingers are only slightly stiff and don't ache anymore when flexed.
I recently started exercises. But my tendons/metacarpo-phalangeal joint on front side hand have become sore,swelled and skin peeled off.
