Hello and Welcome!! :)
Speaking for myself, Arthritis pain lasts for hours at a time not 10-15 minutes. I do not know how other Arthritises feel or how long the pain lasts however.
Do you suppose that you could be speaking more of a spasm in your fingers and toes? That happens to me sometimes and others that I have spoken to. I could be reading a book or newspaper or holding a mug and my fingers would clamp against the next one sometimes causing separation. Very painful and annoying. I have to run them under warm water to stop the spasm. This usually lasts about 10 minutes. I forget what it is called. Or it could be something else that you have going on there especially with your leg.
There is also Trigger Finger but that is when the finger(s) lock in a bent position and snap back, I believe. I do not have that one.
