A member asked:
What can i do if my pinky feels swelled and a bit in pain when i touch it. could this be arthritis?

Possibly: Arthritis is a possibility but there are several other causes. If the problem is recent, give it some time to resolve on its own. If it is a longer term issue, have a doctor take a look.
