The knuckle to the tip of my index finger is tingly and knuckle is very sore to touch.. a little swollen but have had no trauma to it?

Finger arthritis: This sounds like acute arthritis. Is it red? This could be gout, but is not typical; could be beginning of an arthritis syndrome, such as RA, but also unusual. Could be an infectious reaction to something you have encountered, but also not typical; any strain from overuse?
