I've been dealing with this strange issue where my fingers swell up at night. It's happened four times this month, and it's just the phalanges, not the whole finger. It starts with itching, then affects about 12 of these tiny finger bones at once, but on different fingers each time. There's no joint swelling or pain, just itching and a sense of tightness where it swells. It goes away by morning and there's no other symptoms alongside it. Should I be worried or get this checked out?

Hey, I've been experiencing joint and muscle pain that seems to move around my body. Every morning I wake up feeling really stiff and achy, but after some light exercise, the pain usually eases off. It gets much worse during the winter months, and honestly, the pain becomes unbearable. I'm pretty sure this all kicked off when I was around 15 years old. Could you suggest what kind of specialist I should consider seeing?
You may benefit from seeing a Rheumatologist. They specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the joints, muscles, and bones. In the meantime, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) as needed for pain relief.

I'm currently taking Sompraz 40, Actapro 100 mg, and Telma H 40 for my health conditions, and I recently found out that my ESR level is 22. I'm kind of worriedcould these medications be affecting my ESR readings?
The medications you're taking do not directly affect your ESR reading. If you're concerned about an elevated ESR or related symptoms (such as fever, unexplained weight loss, joint pain, etc.), it would be best to discuss this with your healthcare provider. They can assess the root cause of your symptoms and whether further testing or adjustments to your treatment plan are necessary.
