1472747 tn?1286894720 Pain is one of the first symptoms, the stiffness is probably caused due to the swelling created by the fluid and the numbness is likely from the pressure on you nerves and capillaries.
Avatar f tn The cold feeling usually comes from a circulation or blood vessel problem, and the numbness can come from either a swelling or nerve problem. Then there is the very real chance that infection has developed, which not only makes you very sick, but can also cause the cold and numbness.
Avatar m tn m not a doctor, I know quite a bit about hand injuries. Numbness or cold is common with swelling and bruising. The fact that you can feel the tip of your finger is a great sign that the blood flow is intact. However, you likely fractured (broke) your finger, and that should be treated by a professional to reduce the risk of arthritis and future range of motion issues. Xrays should be taken to evaluate the bones.
Avatar n tn I am 1 week post trigger finger release, I am experiencing increasing numbness in thumb, index finger & hand. I know I have just had surgery it takes time to heal. The numbness is progressing!
Avatar f tn It depends on where the pain and numbness is. There is a cause of numbness of the index finger and middle finger called carpal tunnel syndrome. 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.

1625195 tn?1332178662 There is little to no numbness. The ring finger is the same as well. But my middle finger, index finger and thumb are definitely numb and slightly swollen. My index finger, though, is the only finger experiencing some pain along with the numbness and swelling. Things to note: I did not bang my elbow on anything.
Avatar n tn When scalene muscle is the cause of pain, the pain is referred to (either all or a combination of) chest, inner lining of scapula (shoulder bone), shoulder, posterior and lateral sides of the arm right up to the thumb and index finger.
Avatar f tn I have been experiencing a numbness and tingling sensation in my right arm and hand from the elbow down to the finger tips and in my left foot. It's been coming and going for about two weeks now. I'm 33 yrs old, 170 pounds and I work out 3 times a week. I have been diagnosised with high blood pressure about a yr ago and I'm currently taking Norvas 10 mg and hydrothori ? a water pill. Just wondering what could be cause this numbness.
Avatar f tn 4 days later ma aunt had numbness ,swelling and blue discoloration n her left hand n finger...yesterday she was havng severe headache nd also numbness and red spots n her leg....she has a history f varicose veiens since 8 years...
Avatar n tn Do you notice that the entire hand is numb except the baby finger? The baby finger is fed by a different nerve. I googled hand numbness/menopause when this first started and it does seem as though some women are affected by this. My doctor thinks there is some swelling or fluid that builds up during the night causing pressure. Do you also notice that the sensation returns shortly after you start moving your hand/wrist?
999891 tn?1407276076 I too get finger swelling joint pain but don't ever see the swelling. My NS says it has nothing to do with the recovery of surgery but my PT says different. She said until my neck shoulder and arm muscles regain strength I will continue have this. My hands feel heavy like I an walking with weights in hand all day and feels like the fingers are gonna pop off at the joints. I look forward to PT to get relief.

Avatar m tn I was cut by a glass vase a month ago. It was my middle finger at the point where the finger meets the hand on the palm side. It was quite painful and bled for a bit. The next day it was quite swollen. I went to the doctor and she had me see a specialist the next day. I was tod there was no Flexor or tendon damage. I was put on an antibiotic for 10 days. There was no glass left in the finger and the cut area did not get inflamed. It healed rather quickly. The swelling remained.
Avatar f tn I had CTS surgery 4 weeks ago which relieved the tingling and numbness in my thumb, index and middle finger. Prior to surgery I had numbness in all of my fingers on my right hand. They did an EMG and found loss to all my fingers. After surgery now both my ringfinger, little finger and that outer side of my hand are totally numb. I am also experiencing pain in the palm of my hand so bad that I have to take Ultram or Hydracodone.
Avatar n tn What is weird is that i can feel a vein that is there in my finger. I can feel it when i touch the part above the numbness. Its really weird. I try feeling a vein in my other finger but cant find one. This is the first time it happen, and the left hand middle finger is the only place its happening. So please tell what i should do, in order to get rid of this numbness in my finger.
1336836 tn?1275740921 In addition to the numbness on the upper part of my index finger, there is just below it to the side a slight bump under the skin which is very painful to the touch. Could I have an under the skin wart?
Avatar f tn and have been unable to see a doctor due to lack of insurance. My finger bends (not completely or with ease) and the swelling went down considerably after the first day. However there is a little numbness and swelling and the underside of the middle knuckle (the one that i believe got the blow) is very purple and bruised. Do i need to just relax and give it time or should i seek out a free clinic.
Avatar m tn i had this happen to me as well my finger in fact had a hairline fracture .it was hard to bend there was alot of swelling and some pain .it sounds so similar to my situation that i was compelled to write.it sounds to me like there is a good possibilty it could be fractured or broken .i would get the xray .
Avatar f tn 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. I went thru ANOTHER surgery to get the bone removed before it could really hurt me. The bone came out and measured 2 and a half inches long.
Avatar m tn numbness in both hands pinky finger and ring finger ... both hands.VERY PAINFULL!!! ... [More] Numbness in both feet, more so in left side,,, you can stick a needle on the top onf my left foot and i cannot feel it,,, right foot is the same but not as bad. I have had Chiropractor work done for 4 months, 4 times a month= 16 visits and no help. I have a very pinched nerve(s) somewhere and need help on how to get help. I live in san diego and need a low cost place for help.
Avatar f tn s possible that they have found better ways to fix nerves since then and it was also my finger and not my hand (more room to work in a hand vs a finger). In think that if you don't feel comfortable with this doctors opinion you should definitely get another opinion before letting someone cut into you. I don't think your damage is going to get any worse if you wait. My finger didn't get worse and still moves but it is numb. Who knows, maybe it will get better on it's own.
Avatar f tn Hi, What side is the pain? Do you have tingling and numbness too? This could be due to spondylitis - cervical; but nothing can be said with surety without a clinical examination. You should take OTC pain relief medications, apply warm compresses, avoid lifting heavy weights and apply local analgesic ointment at the site. This should help with your symptoms til you see your doctor. You would probably be advised investigations including xrays and a consultation with a physical therapist.
Avatar n tn The surgery went fine, until about two weeks after. The side of my hand, my pinky finger and half my ring finger started to go numb. Burning Sensation followed the numbness. I went back to see the Dr. that did the surgery. He told me that there was no way that this could be from the surgery. "Unless I was wired differently then everyone else." He wrote me a prescription for a steriod pack and told me to call if it didnt help. I took the 6 days of steriods with no change.
