A member asked:
What causes my right ring finger joint to hurt ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I just counted: There are 3 joints: closer to the hand, the next one called proximal interphalangeal joint, then there is the one near the fingernail, the distal interpharyngeal joint. Likely, arthritis is the cause of your discomfort.
