Dr. John Munshower answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Several: Fat or swollen fingers can be caused by edema, anasarca, angioedema, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic overuse syndrome (if you have worked with your hands all your life, etc.) these are a few examples. Get examined to check if your fingers need any specific treatment.
