That sounds like gout. Have your dr test yo.

All fingers? Both hands?
Just curious. I've got a problem where one finger (or thumb) will start to hurt and swell up a bit. I'll be hard to bend and impossible to use the digit. Pain can be very intense, even keeping me up at night. Then it tends to go away after a day or two...sometimes moving on to another finger. Often I'll put a splint on the finger to avoid using it till it gets better. It's horrible when it's a thumb, kinda makes that hand unusable. My Doc. wants to see it, but it never seems to be going on when I'm in his office. Had a big problem with it for awhile, nearly always had a finger out of commision, but these days it just seems to happen every now and then, not too often, so I don't worry about it much, but just this last Friday it happened again (right index finger, it's fine now).

That sounds like gout. Have your dr test your uric acid levels. It's also a form of arthritis
