Swolen lymph nodes pain in fingers what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not lymph nodes: In the fingers there can be bone enlargement at the dip or pip joints. These are called herberdon's node and bouchard's nodes. This is osteoarthritis. Just because it is present does not always mean you need therapy. It depends on your symptoms. A rheumatologist can help clarify this.
