I have developed symmetrical finger and toe aches the last few weeks. I have been on my phone a lot more recently as searching for jobs so initially put my finger aches down to that but it’s now my toes and I have noticed symmetrical aches. It’s mainly lengths of fingers, finger tips and thumb joint. Are symmetrical aches always rheumatoid arthritis? Have contacted GP. Feel very anxious (which I’m sure isn’t helping!). I am 43 btw.
