Arthritis or fracture?

The finger needs to ne xrayed and then you will get a proper diagnosis.

I have fingers like that, they also have heberden's nodes. I have osteoarthritis.

Sooki my mom had a finger like that she had broken it but didn't realise by the time it has healed . But a friend of mine has finger like it and it's osteoarthritis. So you need to see your GP either way. Sorry not much help.

I have RA and my fimgers are like that.

Best to see a doctor, rather than us offering a possible diagnosis.

My fingers are like that mine is osteoarthritis they are often very sore and swollen.

Thank you all - very good advice.

Clicking can mean a fracture. I would get it looked at, is there walk in centre or minor injuries unit you can use?

There is an arthritic condition that causes pain, swelling, and deformity. (Sorry, that sounds horrible- no disrespect to your fingers!)

So, I suppose that is more likely, unless you can remember a specific injury.

My fingers look like that but with large knuckles as well. Best to get a GP to decide and treat I think. I only take prescribed medicines but lots of people take supplements and feel the benefit. Best to talk to a doctor and make your own mind up. You might like to look up Versus the arthritis support charity for more information.
