Hi, im 22 years old and have a red swollen knuckle on my right foot, the toe next to my big toe. Its as though the knuckle has grown and swollen as it is hard, and red and prominent. It has always been raised, but now the whole toe is red/purple and swollen without much feeling.
Also, just recently the same digit but on my right hand is stiff to bend, red and swelling, or bone growing as if its going to get as bad as my toe.
I am unsure what this is, i have a family history of arthritis, but realise i am way too young to seriously consider this.
Any thoughts would be appreciated... thank you.

sounds like gout.
I punched a wall a bit over a month ago and my knuckle has been swollen since. There's been no pain mostly and I'm relatively sure it wasn't broken, but it's as though the bone itself has expanded. Please help.
