Avatar n tn The Boxer’s fractures are treated by immobilizing the joint using a variety of splints, a cast, or taping techniques. “Buddy-taping” involves taping the little finger to the ring finger. It typically takes four to six weeks for the fracture to heal and thereafter some more time to regain motion and strength. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn It also hurts to stretch my fingers out (laying flat is okay, but if I try to stretch them at all, it hurts). It also hurts to press downward while the finger is flat (scrubbing a counter-top or picking up a heavy book both hurt significantly). Now, two more fingers on my left hand have begun to progress exactly the same way with exactly the same pain.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn X-rays revealed at least one small fracture (probably along the side, not sure). The injury only seems to affect the middle PIP joint. It hurts when I press on the sides and bottom of the joint. The tendon along the top appears undamaged. Most of the swelling subsided 2-3 weeks after the injury. The biggest problem is that the joint will only bend about halfway through it's normal range of motion. It bends fairly smoothly and painlessly until it hits the end.
1189828 tn?1264598702 it hurts when it apply pressure to the sides and whenever i try apply pressure on the joint making the act of the opposite of bending. i had a physical therapy once and the therapist said it was trigger finger but i dont believe coz theres no snapping involve. i cant straighten it well-i can straighten it but not straight straight- coz it hurts and its hard for me coz i play the piano. what should i do with it?
Avatar f tn Dislocated finger at PIP joint 4 weeks ago. It was touching my pinky when I fell. Immediately popped it back in while it was numb. Still very swollen and painful. Hurts very bad to support anything from palm side. I know I tore the medial ligament. Have a red swollen feverish knot on medial side. Been icing it when I can and wearing splint on and off.
Avatar n tn Thank you, Carol, for the suggestions. I am going to try that finger brace....as my work is pretty cool and the finger hurts more when cold. Went to the DR today....Xrays were taken. She ordered bloodwork for antibodies, uric acid, and a lyme disease test. She gave me an antibiotic as well as an anti inflammatory, so I'll see what happens over the next week. It seems to be fairly steady- not getting worse or better- in terms of pain or swelling.

Avatar m tn My question is regarding the first joint of my right hand index finger. I believe it is called the proximal interphalangeal joint. The joint has been very sensitive to the touch for a few weeks with no sign of abating. The joint also hurts a little if I bend it fully, but not nearly as much as if I just touch it with a little pressure. I do not see any outward signs of injury. It is not red or swollen. I have no similar pains in any other fingers or joints.
Avatar m tn Hurts to squeeze tightly, shake someones hand, and definitely cannot move the finger side to side. Moving the finger back toward the back of my hand doesn't hurt though. NSAIDS help only a little, but they tear my stomach up. Weird thing is that hot water makes it feel about 85% better instantly every time. Ice doesn't help much. Anybody have any clue what is wrong and what I can do to fix this?
Avatar f tn I fell at a baseball game around 6 weeks ago, I fell on my hand and fingers were bent back under me. I had x-rays done and have 2 small fractures in Pinki finger, However, My pointer finger 2ND joint is twice the normal size, skin keeps peeling off, and I can't fully straighten it out. Also, the back of my hand and palm swell when I use them for a period of time. The pain in my hand is about a 6 on pain scale. I have been to the Dr. twice now. I ice it and massage it as best I can tolerate.
Avatar f tn I'm a 28 year old female and I have been having swelling, stiffness and pain of my right index finger knuckle for over 2 years. It started off as a little right itchy bump on my knuckle (it kind of looked like a welt) and it felt like it was on fire. I noticed it would flare up when it would rain and there was high humidity. From there it has progressed to swelling and it is usually stiff. It has been swollen for so long now that it has started to deform my joint.
Avatar m tn The exact location of the injury would be the middle pinkie joint that is right along side the ring finger. This happened two months ago, I haven't been to the hospital yet because this is a common injury in the trade. So far the swelling subsided barely, but there is a small lump on the inside of the pinky. It hurts (9/10) when any pressure is presented. I have decided to buddy tape the finger for the past 2 days. I have to admit there is a lot of discomfort and some pain(3/10).
Avatar m tn I get a vein that pops out and hurts on the palm side of my finger. It last for only a couple of minutes and then is sore there. This has happened about four times now. I have had it on my left pinky, my left ring finger, and last night to my right middele finger. Does anyone know what is causing this?
Avatar f tn I tested negative for hiv at 9 weeks using the finger prick test it's was negative. How conclusive is that because I've had chills headaches muscles and joint pain swollen lymphnode right of my neck my throat hurts and red and ear pain.

Avatar m tn Recovery on track except my ring and pinky finger are clawed now, hurts to attempt any movement. Xray showed joint fusing, my Dr wants to give me cortisone in the pinky, I am not a fan of cortisone but, i'll give it a try. any ideas why this is happening? Since surgery I have developed a bump in the palm of the same hand.
Avatar f tn Okay so last night I punched the wall and immediately felt horrible pains shooting through my left middle finger joint knuckle closest to my wrist and the same on the finger to its right. My hand is swollen and bruised. It hurts to move it. It hurts the most when ball a fist and write. When you touch the bone on my middle finger knuckle thing it feels as if it's crumbling and it feels very spongey.
1308443 tn?1302693321 My finger is very swollen and it still hurts. It is straight now. The middle joint is red though. My mom is worried about it an wants me to go see doc. I don't think I need to go. What should I do?
Avatar n tn When I attempt to bend my finger it hurts like crazy, this feels almost like a hair bump on the inside of my hand. Very uncomfortable. This bump doesn't have a head to it like other bumps I've experienced in the past.
Avatar n tn At first it seemed like just the middle joint, now it is entire finger. It is noticeably swollen compared to my other fingers. It hurts all the time, but especially if pressed on or accidentally pressed when doing activity like turning door knob,etc. I saw doc over a month ago who did X-rays and said they looked normal. He said cause may be unknown and will subside on own?
Avatar f tn Arthritis or inflammation of joint that moves from joint to joint (migratory) can be due to Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, rheumatic fever, SLE, HIV, Lyme’s disease, sarcoidosis, Whipple’s disease, Henoch-Schnlein Purpura, bacterial endocarditis and gonoccoccal arthritis. Hashimotos thyroidits is another possibility. It can also be fibromyalgia and or chronic fatigue syndrome. The best thing would be to consult a general practitioner or PCP and try and assess what is the cause of your problem.
Avatar m tn t paying complete attention so when I tried to catch it I ended up pushing my middle finger into it and crushing it. Now it's swollen a little bit & sensitive when i touch it or try to bend it. I can't apply pressure to it without pain. I'm pretty sure it's only sprained, but in the area it hurts most (bottom of middle joint) there is a bulging vein. I don't know if this is a symptom of a sprain or if maybe it's a pinched nerve?
Avatar f tn 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.
