An I getting arthritis?

So I work with my hands Mon to Fri, Saturdays if we have overtime. Anyway, there was an older woman who worked in my department who just randomly came up to me one day and goes, look at my fingers!!! And she held her hands out at her fingers were twisted all different directions and then she's explaining to me how doing certain jobs with the twisting are going to mess my fingers up yada yada yada.

So a couple weeks ago I go to bend my pinky on my right hand at the last knuckle and it hurts to bend it and it looks like it's starting to like crook over to the left.

I wanted to get some opinions on it so I took a photo of my right hand Pinky and my left hand pinky just so you could see the difference.

What I did is, I held my finger up against the table just so you could see the difference between how straight my left pinky is compared to my right Pinky just on the end. Is it arthritis or could it be something different because I don't really use that finger to do jobs mostly it's my thumbs, index, and middle finger, ring finger.

Some sensible and calming comments here, but I think a medical diagnosis is always best given my a qualified medic.

@FreddieUK and no you're right, I'd hoped maybe if someone else had the same problem at one time they could tell me more
