i have the same swelling and it can get hot sometimes.....and it is arthritis and it is just one of the possibilities so check with someone who knows....my witchdoctor says it is due to a hungry demon and the only thing that will work has to do with cash and a very young rooster!

Hi flutie,
My Husband had the same issue and he was diagnosed with Arthritis of the hand. He had numerous tests and finally had an answer.
As Eve mentioned, no one can diagnose someones symptoms. I would keep up with his Doctor and if you don't like the answer you get, find a second opinion.
Diagnosis can sometimes take a while.
Take care,

Hi flutie12,
It's hard to diagnose what's going on with your dad's knuckle without
more information. Your dad should make an appointment with your
family doctor and his doctor should look at his hand and evaluate what
is going on. It's nice of you to try and help your dad but the best person
to offer him some help is a medical doctor. Eve
