I am getting slight pains in my hands. Mainly in the two end fingers on both hands. Could this be rheumatism?

I'm not able to diagnose but it sounds like it could be Rheumatoid arthritis. The fact it is affecting the smaller joints and symmetrically are the big clues.
Please read my series of blogs on how to deal with and manage pain.

The other possible explanation is some wear and tear in the vertebrae of the neck, impeding circulation or pinching on the nerves that run down the arms to the fingers.

If your doctor is able to confirm this then please consider trying some glucosamine for 8 weeks and applying some Atrogel^® (arnica) to the fingers three to four times a day.

Best wishes and if you get a diagnosis, please come back to us, as we will be able to offer some more specific advice.
