  @Gigi53 I would tag it as osteoarthritis, there should be a choice for that! Rheumatoid arthritis tends to be symmetrical and affect multiple joints on both sides. Rheumatoid arthritis is auto-immune and inflammatory whereas osteoarthritis is caused by overuse and age so the treatment is very different. Hope this helps!
