Thank you.
Only a doctor can tell you if you have arthritis and what is causing your pain and swelling. I suggest starting with your primary, then going from there. The ways they determine what you have is via x-rays and/or blood tests (the latter for rheumatory disease). Pain and swelling most likely can be caused by varying things that folks on a social media site can't determine for you.
