Hi,
How are you? What other symptoms are present? Was there  a previous history of trauma or injury? Swollen knuckles or joints may be attributed to musculoskeletal issues such as arthritis. Anti-inflammatory medications and ice/heat treatment may help provide relief. However, if it persists, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper evaluation. Diagnostic tests such as imaging studies and blood tests may also be done. Take care and do keep us posted.
