A member asked:

Painful finger joints, this has come on very quick over the last 3 months, what would be causing this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Arthritis: Most probably some form of arthritis / abrupt onset is not uncommon this would be better off checked by your pcp or a rheumatologist also might want to get your vit d level checked.
