These symptoms indicate that you may have arthritis such as osteoarthritis going on in those fingers (an example only). I would recommend consulting with a rheumatologist (a doctor that diagnoses and treats diseases and disorders of the joints and bones such as osteoarthritis) to see what they say but if you have the kind of insurance that requires it I would recommend starting with your primary care physician to see what they say.
