Hi, I have swelling in my pinky finger for about 2 - 3 months. If i bump my pinky it is very sore by the middle joint even if I touch it.I went to an orthopedic hand specialist and he asked if I jammed my finger. I explained to him that I didn't jam my finger. He took x-rays and said it wasn't dislocated.He then came back into the room and said I probably jammed my pinky and just don't remember. I know I would remember jamming my finger as I have done that in the past.
1 year ago we were playing cricket so ball just hit on my ring finger middle joint I have concern my doctor in my city but swelling is not going .
The doctor recommended surgery to pin and straighten out the bone and my mom decided on getting me the surgery. The finger unfortunately never went straight and was stuck in what looked like it was in the asl sign for "X" or I was making an R with my finger. 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.
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. It usually results from excessive use of hands and occupational “microtrauma”. Other causes include hypothyroidism, amylodosis, and arthritis to name a few.
I had a lot of swelling at the end of both of my pregnancies and I had bit feet. Try to put them up which helps with swelling. While it is normal for most women, it also can be a sign of blood pressure issues. Your doctor will check this . My doctor monitored swelling. She'd put her finger into it and it pitted (imprint of her finger stayed for a bit), that was more concerning.
Immediately after the incident I noticed a very small break in skin on my finger. This was just below the fingernail, where a small portion of skin had peeled back. a tiny speck of blood was visible, which appeared dry.
After this incident i suffered from diarhea after 3 days which lasted for 2 days. On recovering from diarrhea I caught a fever which also lasted for about 3 days. After 8 days from exposure I have contracted conjunctivitis which is still running it's course.

The injury can lead to nerve damage and/or a local swelling involving the nerve. The localized swelling could be due to tendinitis or it could be a nerve tumor.
The nature of the swelling has to be found out. If the lump involves the nerve, it should be carefully removed surgically. You will also need physical therapy for a fully functional index finger.
In all probability the swelling is a neurofibroma or a swelling in the nerve. It is generally harmless. It could also be a lipoma. It could also ne a cyst in the tendon. Watch for increase in size, change of color, pain, or bleeding. If any of these happen, seek medical help. Otherwise such swellings cause no harm.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
I have a friend in Virginia who had the exact trouble in the knuckle of her middle finger. She did'nt cut it open, but she soaked it in warm salt water, advice she'd gotten from an elderly woman at her church. After she soaked it the pain became unbearable & she went to her Dr. His diagnosis was Gout. He performed outpatient surgery to remove the infection. She's fine now, but she had a rough time of it. She's 82 years old.
I would say it would be a good idea to check it out, you may need a tetanus shot and it sounds like it is infected, put some OTC anti biotic cream on a band aid on it till you can get it checked out, Good Luck
Since experiencing the pain and swelling I still do these things but much less. The swelling in 2 toes of right foot is to such a degree that the toes will not bend much. Swelling in 2 toes of left foot has gone down some and is currently not painful. I have extreme swelling of pointer finger and thumb of left hand [for 3 months] to the degree that I cannot use that hand for much. I try to stretch fingers several times a day and during the night. The pain keeps me awake most of the night.
