Common Questions and Answers about Finger swelling in winter
finger
I thought that a spider bit me on Saturday morning but the redness has not subsided, nor the minor itching. It looks like a mosquito bite but I know it's not - it's winter after all and I went to bed and woke up with the two bites on my middle and ring fingers of my right hand. It's in the same spot on both fingers but it's freaking me out.
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.
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.
t hurt, but it can get quite uncomfortable at times as I cant were my shoes. Sometimes, if I poke at the swelling, the hole of my finger will stay in the foot for a few seconds, which is a sign of water buildup. If my ankle swells, the whole foot swells as well. Any ideas? I'm tired of doctors playing guessing games.
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 .
Last winter my RA flare up from he_ _ started with me waking up on Valentines day only to notice that my hands hurt unbearably, with swollen joints especially in the kuckle and pointer finger of both hands. The pain and swelling escalated untill all my joints in my hands and feet were affected. I too also got nodules on the some of the knuckles. It went on for months. This winter isn't as bad, but some of the swelling and stiffness is now permanent.
It almost never happens in the winter. I have learned to raise the affected arm and put ice on it immediately. This keeps the finger or wrist from swelling but it still discolors for a few days. My friend who is a vascular surgeon said I had "fragile veins" and told me not to worry about it, I, too, was concered about strokes. I asked, "If it can happen in my fingers and wrist, what keeps it from happening in my brain?" He did not answer.
Hi
I have a burning, itching sensation in between each of fingers on both hands and I'm struggling to identify what is causing it.
I had same problem 6 months ago but much worse (it was summer 6 months ago and now it's middle of winter). I had the same swelling, burning and itching sensation but with heaps of clear tiny blisters on the side of my hands. Eventually it went away after multiple tries of different treatments.

We have recently been to the ER for extreme swelling in her right arm. They did an ultrasound and found no clots. She has always has swelling and extreme pain in the right wrist as well as the arm and shoulder. Do you think the Chiari is causing the swelling or could it be the bulding discs causing her pain and swelling? She also suffers from such severe leg and hip pain as well as severe headaches.
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.
No & I usually do retain fluids easily even when not preg.
I developed swelling in my fingers in both hands this winter. It is perfectly symmetrical and located in the fatty tissue before my knuckle where my finger meets my hand. They are reddish plaque looking areas. The doctor referred to them as red, erythematous swelling (I included a picture for you to see). The first time I saw my general practitioner he dismissed it as water retention and told me to change my diet.
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

b) Same as hot water fomentation in which finger is dipped in luke warm water, and then passive mobilization is conducted.
For the problem you mentioned that your finger is pointing towards the pinky finger, there are some options like putting a brace to maintain the normal position. After a while, this brace can be removed.
