Swollen finger joints

i had my last period Jan 2019. In August of 2019 i started having swelling in my finger joints not like sausage fingers just the middle joint was bigger. now i still have that swelling but also i have pain on and off. it seems to get worse with these incrediible hot flashes. but this has been going on for a year. has anyone experienced this?

I have been having achy joints in my fingers and feet, worse in the morning, I am so tired of this…Also I used to get this forum thru email did it change??
