I've been dealing with a really sharp pain in two of my left foot fingers for the last couple of days. Its weird because there's no swelling, and I haven't injured myself or anything.

Could this foot pain be connected to that, or is it something completely different? I'm just trying to figure out if it's something I should be worried about.

My mother has had pain in her fingers and wrist for around 23 years. Our GP prescribed her DV60K and calcium, and an X-ray showed some bone erosion in her fingers and hand.
