i think i do have chronic inflammation in my finger that was caused from an old joint injury, since i do have permanent joint swelling.. could the chornic inflammation in my finger that was caused from the injury actually spread to other parts of the body and cause chronic diseases or even cancer?.. since in general chronic inflammation is one of the risk factors for developing chronic diseass or cancer or is the inflammation in my finger localized and wont spread out?
