Finger joint catching
Common Questions and Answers about Finger joint catching
finger
Five days ago my left ring finger was injured from catching a football just for fun not playing the actual sport. I had it checked at an ER but they weren't exactly sure if it was fractured and splinted my finger. I did see my family doctor who also got the same set of xrays and he said yes it is cracked but a few days later phoned to say no it isn't. Said to remove the splint and exercise it.
I have noticed something..
Followed up with family doctor in a week, another xray, he said yes cracked around middle joint (side of the middle joint that faces towards middle finger). However the next day he phoned and said no its not broken.
About a month later went to physiotherapy which included ultrasound treatment and compressions stocking. This lasted about three to four months.
In Spring of this year I had no improvement.
Last year in July I hurt my ring finger on my right hand. It was due to catching a ball which struck the finger. I had pain throughout the finger, couldn't bend the joint closest to the finger nail. Xrays were taken at the ER and they suspected a crack on top of the joint that is located above the knuckle and also to the inside of this same joint (facing the middle finger). I did see my family doctor a week later and another xray was taken.
I have developed a lump in the joint between my thumb and the finger next to it. It appears to be near the joint in the webbing of my thumb and is approx 1cm wide. My thumb is extremely painful if i accidently clip it against something or put any pressure on it. I occasionally get pins and needles in my hand and it may be disturbing the blood circulation.
Any assistance is appreciated. It has similar symptons to a ganglion cyst but i am unsure if you can get them in this particular area.
So, I might be over worrying because I have OCD, but still.
Me and my friends had a few too many drinks last night. We ended up in a strippers. We were told not to touch the girls and to keep our hands on the seats. Now, before we went I noticed I had a small cut on my finger. Not like an open cut, more of a graze on the joint, on the 'outside' part of my finger; not the side where the palm is. As I said I didn't touch any of the girls.
The pain is just under and in front of the bone protrusion on the inside of my leg like right in the joint. The original injury my fot rolled up on the inside of my leg resulting in the Talus fracture. The pain has been pretty much there ever since the injury It just has different degrees of intensity. Most of the time it fells pretty good.
I dislocated my pinky finger 5 weeks ago. From joint to tip was perpendicular to bottom of finger. Was so horrified, I pulled up and put it back in place and iced it, but hurt so badly I went to the ER. X-ray showed no break and they said I did a really good job (straight). Taped it to a splint and told me to ice every 2 hours for 20 minutes and wear splint for 2 days.
ve been having minor pain in the smallest joint on my fourth finger on my right hand. Because I work seven days a week during the school year, I never saw the doctor. But it started getting worse. It hurts, if my fist is closed, to bump the knuckle from above. It also hurts to stretch my fingers out (laying flat is okay, but if I try to stretch them at all, it hurts).
All of a sudden the piece of skin in between my thumb and finger has become stiff. I don't think it would be trigger finger but i might be wrong. It won't go either. What can I do? It's hard to stretch my thumb away from the hand and spread my fingers without it hurting.

I had surgery for trigger finger release on my middle finger at the end of December. It was a severe case. My doctor told me it would be a simple surgery. I have had a LOT of pain since the surgery. I still take Darvacet at night to control the pain. During the day, I can tolerate it. Is this normal? He said I just need to keep working it, which I constantly do. I have talked to other people who seem to think that I should not still be having the swelling and pain that I have.
m a house painter and recently brought my hand down onto the sharp point of one of my painting tools. It cut into the side if my rt hand middle finger, middle joint (between the knuckle and the lower joint) It bled a bit and swelled up of course. That was over two weeks ago. I still have noticable swelling in that joint, especially on the rt side, and considerable pain. The rest of my hand hurts lately, probably from compensating for the lack of use of the middle finger. Any ideas?
I'm 28 and I have joint pain in my finger joints and I feel it in my wrists sometimes too. And in the digits of my feet (I think).
I have no RF in my blood and the doctor said just take Ibuprofen.
I am slightly over weight because of bulimia.
I've had gluten sensitivity problems (makes me sluggish and hungry).
AND labyrinthitus in the past months.
No thyroid problems. Not diabetic.
Feeling it might be Fibromyalgia ?
I'm lost.
When there is a capsular injury to a joint in finger, it is best to give the RICE treatment for a few days such as rest, ice application, compression bandage (you can strap the injured finger with the neighboring finger) and elevation (keep hands elevated on a pillow at bed time). You can also take an anti-inflammatory pain killer. Once the injury settles down and there is less pain you have to start physiotherapy.
I had a similar injury catching a knife I had dropped last year, which resulted in nerve damage to a finger. I went to physical therapy and it got some help. They can do all kind of things that stimulate the nerve to heal. I'm glad I went. It's hard to take time from a busy life to get help for yourself, but I'll bet you would do it for your child in a heartbeat.
any amount of swelling in a small joint such as a finger joint can cause quite a bit of discomfort. It sounds like you "jammed" the joint(s). It can take a long time to resolve. Like 6-9 months. You could try soaking it in hot water to loosen things up and try to pull and put tension on the finger to loosen up the joint. Pull the finger slowly, steadily, and gently straight out. I have found this can help loosen it up and relieve some pressure in the joint.
This wound not be catching it early. An early diagnosis would be when you saw the rash. The testing is not very reliable. You may want to research lyme at the lyme website lymenet dot org. You can post your story there and ask questions as well as do a lot of research.
Anything that requires internal rotation aggravates the catching. Even with very little exercise now, the catching is worsening, and yesterday, I felt like my hip was dislocated--the pain was excruciating. Ironically, at times, I have no symptoms, and no pain, so I'm not too enthusiastic about a cortisone shot.
My question: I know these are hard places to heal, but do you have any history with a patient who has healed a labral tear without surgery?
I dislocated my PIP joint on my ring finger 2 weeks ago. It was reduced at the hospital and I went to the hand clinic 24 hours later. They said it was doing ok and I didn't need to go back unless there was a problem with it. I was told to keep it buddy strapped for 2 weeks.
I now have the buddy strapping off. The finger isn't that painful unless I bump the joint accidentally. I'm a little concerned as I can't fully straighten it or bend it more than halfway.
