Hand and knee : You need to see a doctor in person for a firm opinion. This seems like an inflammatory arthritis

Get evaluated: I would check in person with your family physician. Multifocal joint pains can often be inflammatory in origin (ie Rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, Gout, etc). These and other conditions are best evaluated with a physical exam & some simple blood studies.
