Hi,
I got baby delivered 2.5 years ago. 6 months after my delivery I started getting finger stiffness and joint pain in fingers and toes. Doctors suggested it might be calcium and vitamin d deficiency. From there I am getting finger stiffness and pain intermittently like after every 3 to 4 months. I will be OK and then get again. Now I have right ring finger swollen on left side. My fingers also weak unable to lift heavy objects. I am okay with day to day activities. Morning stiffness does not last longer may be within 5 mins. I have attached my swollen left side of ring finger. My right ring finger was always very slightly bent right from childhood.

Hello mam. Swelling of finger like a sausage is called dactylitis. It may be due to a type of arthritis ( found in young people). A detailed evaluation is necessary for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Please take online consultation. I am not a rheumatologist but I have experience treating arthritis as a general physician. Regards
