Finger swelling and stiffness
Common Questions and Answers about Finger swelling and stiffness
finger
I had my pins taken out Monday from my right index finger this week, and today is Friday. I still have minimal movement and much stiffness. My finger is stuck in the position it was as when the pins were in, and I am still unable to make a fist. Also my top part of my finger is pointed more towards my pinky finger than sitting in the normal position. Is this how it it will stay, or will this get better when my knuckle swelling decreases?
After this you might have developed stiffness and you can start physiotherapy and in 2 weeks you will be fine. (Total 6 weeks for complete recovery)
But after the 5 weeks you can go for the violin playing and slowly increase your strengths and movements. You can hold the violin with left hand and use the stick with the right hand.
Take care and you will be fine.
Aside from the most nasty scar in the world, I have so much stiffness in my pinky finger at the knuckle and swelling in the entire finger. How long should the stiffness and swelling last? Will it be permanent? I started occupational therapy and they seem to think it will get better but it will take months not weeks. I am skeptical about occupational therapy since just about everything they're doing, I could do at home for free.
i severely sprained my pinky finger about 3 months ago, no break or fracture though. I've read that for severe sprains stiffness and swelling can last 6-9 months. get yourself over to the orthopedic doctor and he'll probably recommend you for physical therapy.

Saw a hand specialist here on East Coast. He recommends surgery but after having trouble with my bunion surgery, I am wondering if this is worthwhile.
Right now, I have some stiffness but can do most of my activities. Affects my writing a bit. I am 65 yrs old.
Of course a surgeon is going to recommend surgery; it is his livelihood. He also says it will be general anesthesia rather than localized.
t having any pain or worrisome symptoms other than some neck stiffness. My doc assured me it was edema and normal swelling as the bone and muscles were still healing. My incision is fully healed. Well last night I was feeling more pressure and tightness. When I felt the back of my head, the swelling and bulge was very significant. I feel more uncomfortable than anything with some neck tightness and fatigue. I had a few alcoholic drinks 2 nights ago and wonder if the swelling can be from that?
It became swollen, painful and unable to bend, a constant ache and stiffness, as well as a bruise on the inside of the second knuckle. Now I can bend it almost all of the way but still painful to do so, the swelling is down as well as the bruising but it is still stiff. Also when I lay my hand flat on the table and hold down my finger by pressing below the middle knuckle i can bend my injured finger backwards manually all the may to the middle knuckle.
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.

I fell down and perhaps the whole body weight rested on my finger, as a result of which the finger got swelling and little bent after a day followed by severe pain. The finger does not get straightened. I was advised by pharmacist to take Brufen tablets and apply some gel. As long as the tablet was taken for 3-4 days, the pain was not there.But no sooner the tablet was stopped, the pain again started.
I got X-Ray done of my finger and consulted an Orthopaedic Surgeon.
My index finger on my right hand has been swollen for quite a few months now. The swelling started spreading to my middle finger on the same hand. I went to a hand doctor, who did x-rays and an MRI. X-rays were normal, MRI showed "subcutaneous edema", which is swelling of the soft tissue in my two fingers. He ordered blood tests to test my ANA, RA, Uric Acid levels, white cell count, etc., which all came out normal.
So about three days ago, I started to experience a lot of pain in my hands (mainly left hand) specifically my middle and index finger. I don't really see any swelling and don't feel pins or needles/tingling but my pain is on my wrist, base of thumb, and knuckles. I have always experience morning stiffness but that's how it feels sort of but way more painful.
Hi. I'm 25, black female, with a recurring swollen lymph node on my left side in the neck. I understand the heightened risk of HIV due to my stats. Been tested and I'm negative. My mother has lupus, and both osteo and rhumetoid arthritis. I was also tested for mono, and that was negative. I don't have my tonsils, and the swollen lymph node comes and goes, and is painful. I would say it comes around at least once a month from anywhere from 1 day to 4.
