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 n tn The symptoms include range of motion pain, inability to throw, pain when hugging someone, tingling in the back of my hand and into the thumb, forefinger, and middle finger. I also experience some pain in my collar bone at the sternum. Does anyone have any ideas on what the issue(s) may be? Thank you.
Avatar f tn Everybody over forty has ocasional swelling in one or both legs. If the swelling persists, it's time to see a physician. Persistance should be defined as lasting longer than two weeks, or recurring more than once a month. As SassyLassie stated, there are many possible causes for fluid retention, some serious, and some not so serious. This is one of those situations where you really need to see an M.D. in person and get a good general work-up.
Avatar m tn What is the proper was to give anesthesia before doing a reduction for a Right dorsal dislocation on ring finger at PIP joint? My Doctor's PA is saying in the notes I consented to a flexor tendon sheath block . She never gave me any other choices. It was the most painful thing I have ever had done. What was done was I was first frozen with some spray and then injected with something right below the finger in the middle on the palm side.

Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn First it started swelling on my index finger, with a couple of visible red dots under the skin, and then it started on my ring finger, but the swelling was different, it got swollen at one point beyond the big joint of the finger and another swelling at the smaller joint of the finger. This time the swelling was hard to the touch. Like two red dots. And then my little finger started swelling too, but this one was different also.

1108194 tn?1378424522 My 9 yr old son has been having brief episodes of a burning sensation on the side of thumb side index finger. Sometimes its both index fingers at the same time and sometimes its only one side. One time it was only the thumbs. The side of the finger actually turns red. It last for about 10 seconds and then its gone. So far it only has happened about 1/2 hour or so after he wakes up. He said running it under cold water helps. He is on fish oil, multi vitiamin, D3, Probiotics, and B50.
Avatar f tn 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. Again, my advise is that you see a local physiotherapist to discuss your situation, and don't try any of the above suggestions on your own.
Avatar m tn i smashed my finger with a bowling ball it automaticaly whent numb and then a severe pain ocurred for about an hour or more. but now it is extremely swollen and purple at the palm part of my finger closest to the palm but not at the tup it is numb and cold. im worried what do i do?
Avatar f tn The most important thing is to do a manual reduction and putting your finger in a splint or going for a buddy plastering. If you might have done this procedure for 3-4 weeks then I am sure you might have healed your fracture. Check by an X-ray and if your bone has healed there is nothing to worry and this is called stiffness and with physiotherapy you will be fine. Take care!
Avatar m tn 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.

Avatar m tn t relate to me. He always has to finger me before fully inserting his penis, however an inserted finger never is painful to me. I heard something that you reminded me of called vaginismus. Check it out and see if it applies to you?
Avatar f tn The swelling could be due to lymphagitis due to some lingering infection following breast reduction. However the swelling started almost 8 months later. It could be fluid accumulation in the empty fat pockets that further seeped down. Please consult your surgeon again. It is really difficult to comment without examining. However since you have pain, there is some inflammation. Please do not ignore. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

4983320 tn?1378402268 My feet and ankles are so swollen it's unbelievable. I've been drinking water and laying with my feet up, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Is there anything else I can do to help with the swelling? Are those long compression socks ok to try? My husband has some I've been thinking about putting on, but I want to know it's safe first.
Avatar f tn 5 wks ago, just sore on the inner knuckle, could not find any insect bites, no injury, no hang nail. Swelling went down after several days, then it came back with a vengence with severe swelling and lots of pain but this time only in the fingertip. The pressure was so intense that I tried to drain it, I know I shouldn't have. Nothing would come out. The pain was extreme and I did hot salt water soaks several times a day which was worse than any pain I have ever experienced!
