Left hand middle finger tight with stiffness. Can't bend it. Swollen @ the joint & palm. No pain, just uncomfortable.
One or more fingertips become swollen, red, and painful and then alternate in the other hand the other day, other fingers, etc. Sometimes symmetrical. Sometimes palms swell. Also symmetrical wrist, elbow and shoulder pain too?
