Arthritis: You may be developing arthritic inflammation in the injured joint, however, if the pain is acute with a warm and tender joint, there may be bursitis, tendinitis or even osteomyelitis (doubtful without an acute penetrating injury ). May take Motrin to relieve some of the inflammation and schedule an exam with a rheumatologist or a hand surgeon (plastic or orthopedic) you will need x-Ray of the hand

Please help. In both hands and feet from the main knuckle and up to the tips of my fingers/toes, when they are in heat or get warm they visibly turn red, swell, warm to the touch and joint stiffness. Veins swell,ears turn bright red and warm to touch?
