finger joint deformity

i also spoke to a hand surgeon and he said they would have to perform an osteostomy - basically, cut the bone in half, rotate it into position, and, because its so near my joint (the knuckle joint), they would have to put pins horizontally through the two pieces of bone, AND into the knuckle joint, to immobilize it completely for a month before they take the pins out again.

the injury occured in the middle joint, joint that is above the knuckle. However on the inside of this joint (facing the middle finger) it looks bulged or rounded. I traced my finger over it and it is definitely rounded and very hard. I know the joints are naturally a bit roundish on the outside but this is large compared to the ring finger on my right hand. Also looking at it you can see the bulging. I was wondering if this is bone or a bone I was feeling?

Since then i have had pain in my finger, mostly at the first joint from the knuckle. I cannot completely outstretch my finger because that is when the pain starts. Whats wrong and should i see a doctor?

I have pain and numbness that extends from my elbow to my pinky finger constantly for many years. The feeling in my finger is hard to explain, it just doesnt feel right. I'm wondering if they are going to have to reset the bone and if this pain and numbness will go away.:( I'm only 18 and Im sadly limited to what I can do physically.

Two months ago (11 weeks to be precise) I crushed my middle finger in a door. (The nail was intact and both sides still attached, it just received a crush injury down at the lunar/growning end). I had it Xrayed which ruled out any fracture but nothing else was done. Approximately 50% of the nail went black. I now know that the hematoma should have been drained ('trephination'?) and/or the nail removed to repair any nail bed lacerations. Neither of these was done.

Along with this some extra attention can be paid to little finger while doing the stretches. Unless there is severe bone/joint deformity, usually this will bring the little finger to a near normal position. Take care!

I got in a fight last night. One hitter quitter. The knuckle of my middle finger is pretty swollen right now. It wasn't that bad last night. Two hours after the fight, I was playing pool with minimal pain. Since I have no insurance, I'm wondering how long I can wait before having the more serious consequences of a fractured hand... my friend's mom says hours... but I'd guess a couple days??

immediatley my finger felt like I was getting shocked! The pain generated throughout my hand and my wrist! Now a week later I still experience the tingle and numbness in my pointer finger! I should have gotten stitches but I didn't! The wound is heeling though! Whenever I bend my fingers backward or move my hand a certain way I get the shocking feeling back! Its my right had that I need to use all the time!

after an MRI scan i have been told that=discs are dehydrated but not reduced in height, mild marginal and endplate irregularities +facet joint hypertrophy are noted the latter is significant from L4 to S1. at L2/3 small left foraminal disc protrusion/annular tear touching left extraforaminal L2 nerve root.

The bump is either the ruptured tendons balled on top of the joint, or more likely, it is the PIP joint subluxed through the defect in the extensor hood. I don't think the tear is going to heal on its own at this point. Certainly, Karate puts you at risk for further injury.

Slightly less marked osteoarthritis joint space narrowing is also noted with small marginal osteophytes. Both Knees: slight joint space narrowing.

My husband broke his pinky finger I believe at the knuckle about 8 days ago. He really didnt think it was broken so he didnt go get an X-ray. My son has had a broken pinky before & it looks very similar to how my son's looked. My husband is being stubborn saying the break is 8 days out & there is nothing that can be done now. Is that true? Its causing him pain still & is still pretty swollen. He ices it & takes motrin but i dont think thats enough. Please advise!

All I can add is that the doc in the ER dropped the proverbial ball. Shame on them. I may be wrong, but anytime there's any new deformity, especially with trauma, a thorough history and physical is necessary. That you're seeing an ortho soon is great.

The pain you’re having in buttock and low back could be caused by your Facet joint problems at L4-5. Facet joint pain doesn’t generally go below the knee, if yours is going below the knee, it could be related to your so-call not definite nerve compression at this same level. All these things are related in a way, but one problem might be causing one pain and another could be causing another pain. It’s complicated.

Hello, three years ago I had surgery on my left hip to repair a labrum rupture. Since than, the pain did not go away, although not in the same way but I am still limited, and there are still "clicks" from the joint. I did an MRI arhtro again - no labrum rupture or other pathology was found but it is stated in the summary of the report that "some deformity signs should be noted probably due to previous surgery for further orthopedic consultation.

The docs think I'm crazy and shrug me off. 2 years ago, a few days after my grandfather passed away, a DIP joint on my right hand became tender. It very slowly worsened and a few months later I could see where it was swelling slightly over the joint (if I applied pressure or stretched my hand it would blanch and turn white over the knuckle).

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.

The wear and tear type of arthritis, osteoarthritis, is associated with old age but again, if someone is born with a joint deformity or suffers a joint injury at a young age, osteoarthritis can set in very early - teens, young adult, etc. Does that help?

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.
