Finger pain: Sounds like a tenosynovitis which is inflammation of your tendon. You should get htis checked.

See your Dr!: This symptom complex sounds like it could be headed into the realm of rheumatoid arthritis- a very painful and sometimes crippling disease. There's a number of medical tests that can help make a diagnosis . Early treatment is critical, not just for pain relief, but to help reduce the future damage to the joints and connective tissues.
