645255 tn?1291595948 The next day, my wrist started to itch and swell, just the tip of a finger or two would swell, where my wedding band is located on my finger (Just that part, not the whole finger) swelled. My feet have a lot of pain when swollen and the itching is unreal, I can scratch till my skin blisters. This is the second time in 10 years that this has happened to me, both times have been when the weather changes (Florida) from warm to cold.
Avatar m tn Well, without a detailed clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of your symptoms. The pain could be related to causes located in the teeth/ gums/ ear/ throat, underlying bones, overlying soft tissue structures such as infections/ inflammations, neuro-muscular causes, injuries/ trauma, growth/ masses etc.
Avatar n tn specifically, the two finger joints of the pinky, the top joint of the ring finger, the central joint of the middle finger and sometimes the knuckle and central joint of the index finger. My thumb's central joint can be popped but causes no pain or tightness. Pressing my hand flat on a surface and forcing it to remain there causes tightness at the wrist and I can feel what can only be described as a 'spring effect' at the knuckles when I release.
Avatar n tn Some of the most common causes of swelling fingers include arthritis, fluid retention, and underlying issues such as cardiac problems, abnormal kidney function, and allergies. For proper diagnosis, direct clinical examination, your medical history and additional diagnostic tests may need to be done. Take care and do keep us posted with your rheuma consult. Best regards.
Avatar m tn We have tried all types and materials of condoms as well as no condoms (I am on birth control). It swells even when we are going very slow--roughness is not what causes the swelling. We have also used different forms of lube as well, all of which has not helped. What is wrong?! If anyone has some insight, it would be greatly appreciated. I want to be able to make love with the man that I love.
Avatar f tn In your case the problem may have been there for a long time, but repeated clicking of the mouse (thus injuring the tendon of index finger) could have triggered the pain now. Application of ice pack, anti-inflammatory drugs, wearing wrist braces, stretching and strengthening exercises when the pain subsides and modification of the way you click mouse goes a long way in avoiding further injury and treating the present symptoms. Try these tips.
703841 tn?1322565968 the nerve gets pinched due to the swelling and causes what your describing.. elevate your hands and do what your already doing to decrease the swelling.. if you do anything repeative with your hands it might make it worse... good luck!!! also make sure your blood pressure is ok too!
Avatar m tn Hello, Without examination, confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but this swelling can be due to friction rub or chaffing. Chafing is a continuous rubbing of the skin that causes redness or soreness. Chafing occurs when the skin becomes irritated by the friction caused by rubbing – either against other skin or against a foreign material. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites.
Avatar f tn It depends on where the pain and numbness is. There is a cause of numbness of the index finger and middle finger called carpal tunnel syndrome. It usually also has sensory changes of the palm at the thumb, index and middle fingers, and the ring finger on the side near the middle finger. I am not sure if you have these other features or not, but I will elaborate on this. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a compression/entrapment syndrome of the median nerve at the wrist.
Avatar f tn Two years later it began to turn bright red and hurt really bad. They found that I had started to grow a second finger (or bone) underneath my my finger. The best description of it would be a bone spur. I went thru ANOTHER surgery to get the bone removed before it could really hurt me. The bone came out and measured 2 and a half inches long.
Avatar n tn t hurt, but it can get quite uncomfortable at times as I cant were my shoes. Sometimes, if I poke at the swelling, the hole of my finger will stay in the foot for a few seconds, which is a sign of water buildup. If my ankle swells, the whole foot swells as well. Any ideas? I'm tired of doctors playing guessing games.
666921 tn?1254990618 t really noticable from just looking in the mirror with shoulder relaxed. It kinda causes a bit of tension around that area? My G.P. said she doesn't know what it is ! very reassuring ! She said wait and see how it is once you have seen the LLMD. [she tried not to show it - but once I had mentioned Lyme her attitude towards me changed - she became more abrupt] - obviously thought I am a hypochondriac wasting her time, that was my gut feeling anyway.
Avatar n tn When this muscle shortens, this can press on brachial plexus (bundle of nerves and blood vessels in the armpit) and the subclavian artery and can compress or irritate these structures and cause symptoms such as abnormal sensation (like crawling and pricking), cold extremity, spasms of pain, and lymphedema (swelling of lymph channels causing swelling of arm) in the involved extremity. In your case it could be also be due to TMJ. Hence a dental checkup to look for causes of TMJ should be done.
Avatar m tn It is not at all uncommon to have regrets after the fact related to the activities that occur commonly following encounters in strip clubs or, for that matter, following sexual encounters of any sort that people wish they had not taken part in. The consequences of such activities then commonly lead to one of two sorts of reactions- anxiety or a tendency to examine themselves and be far more attuned to genital sensations than in periods when they are not concerned.
Avatar m tn The thorn has started an inflammatory process around the ***** area resulting in flooding of fluid and cells to fight the poisoning effect of foreign body. This causes edema and cellulitis and pressure on tendons. The planter surface is very thick and tight. If there is pus formation, that would have got localized and causes pain on pressure. Also the infection could have resulted in teondonitis or synovitis (inflammation of joint sheath) too.
Avatar f tn t seem to be swelled or feel tender to the touch. When placing my finger just below my ankle on the inside of my foot I can feel a pretty strong pulse. About the same as in my wrist, maybe slightly weaker. So it seems circulation is good. No swelling in feet either. Any ideas what could be the cause of this pain?
Avatar f tn There is a small nodule found at the distal end, towards the base of my right index finger. It started growing and now it is around 5 or 6 mm size. It is movable and firm, i suppose with no pain, only mild pain during pressure. no problem to use my hand for writing or others. could it be a lipoma? will lipoma occur there? any reason to worry?
Avatar n tn The exact diagnosis would depend on a detailed history with respect to the exact site, duration, time of the day, intensity, any associated symptoms like nausea, vomiting, visual loss, any neurological symptoms along with your past medical history. You should consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and management. Take care!
Avatar f tn Hi, Such kind of edema primarily occurs due to the abnormal functioning of one of the 3 organs, namely heart, kidney and liver. Firstly, I’ll suggest you to get a complete evaluation of the heart functions by an echocardiography/x-ray chest/ECG etc followed by the functioning of the kidneys/liver by doing their respective tests. Probably, the problem lies in one of the three organs and I am sure it’ll be picked up by a diagnostic work up. I sincerely hope that helps.
Avatar n tn i cut my finger 3 weeks ago by the hook on the side of kayaks. The surface has healed, but looks swollen and a little sore. Do i need to see a doc? thanks.
