Probably not. Depending on your age, the shin pain can be from growing or exercising in old shoes. Restless fingers and toes are not a sign of arthritis. Pain, heat around joints - your skin actually feels warm - , redness, and swelling are signs as well as itching where the skin is being stretched by swelling.

Arthritis (from Greek arthro-, joint + -itis, inflammation; plural: arthritides) is a group of conditions involving damage to the joints of the body. Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in people older than fifty-five years.

There are different forms of arthritis; each has a different cause. The most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease) is a result of trauma to the joint, infection of the joint, or age. Emerging evidence suggests that abnormal anatomy might contribute to the early development of osteoarthritis. Other arthritis forms are rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis, autoimmune diseases in which the body attacks itself. Septic arthritis is caused by joint infection. Gouty arthritis is caused by deposition of uric acid crystals in the joint, causing inflammation. There is also an uncommon form of gout caused by the formation of rhomboid crystals of calcium pyrophosphate. This gout is known as pseudogout. Visit this website for more info. Hope this helps!

The best way is to get diagnosed by a doctor. Mine started out with pains in my knees, hand joints and running all the way to my elbows. Go and see the doctor and they may recommend you see a rheumatologist that handles people with arthritis and joint issues. I hope this helps.
