That sounds like a hand infection. You should see a hand surgeon as soon as possible. Ignoring a hand infection can lead to very serious consequences.

Based on what symptoms you gave, it's either infected or inflamed from arthritis. You need to see a doctor preferably an orthopedic surgeon if it is not getting better.
Hope it helps!!

Sounds like it could be an infection. Please go see your physician or to a nearby emergency room or urgent care.
