I am 19 years old. I am suffering from joint pains in the fingers of both the hands for last 4 years. It is very painful. The finger swells up and turns red amd can not be bent. I went to doctor twice and had tests like blood test, urine, uric acid, X-ray and all but the result is always normal. It occurs for about 3 to 4 days and becomes normal again automatically but whenever it occurs it becomes very dangerous and its pain is intolerable.
