From past 7 seven days, the region below the nail in my middle finger of the right hand is painful to touch specially when I try to hold pain for writing. It also has mild swelling. It aches when pressed, otherwise does not hurt.
There is no other problem associated with any other fingers.
I am afraid, can this be arthritis?
Please suggest.

Doesn't look like arthritis.
Sometimes growth plate near the base of the nail also hurts.
Take dolo 650 twice a day after food for 3 days and use heat packs. Should be fine.
If not then consult a skin specialist, they can look at nails
