Common Questions and Answers about Finger swelling while sleeping

Avatar m tn A month ago I encountered a hawthorne bush and one of the thorns evidently entered the top of my finger leaving the thorn inside. The following day there was much pain and swelling and my doctor x-rayed the finger which failed to reveal any sign of a broken thorn inside. Finally after a month of discomfort, I squeezed a half-inch thorn which had been lodged in the flesh for more than three weeks. My question is, how might the x-ray have overlooked something this large inside my finger.
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 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.

11292060 tn?1418858964 I thought it could be from all the weight gain and I asked my husband if he thought it was the weight gain or if it was swelling but he thought they looked normal. Tonight I can definately tell its swelling. I can push my finger to my ankle and it stays indented. Any suggestions on how to make it go away?
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 n tn Hi everyone For several months now, I have been suffering from numbness in my hands while sleeping. I wake up during the night or in the morning with numb hands and sometimes with slight tingling. I have no pain and I have no numbness during the day. Does anyone know what is causing this? I haven't been to the doctor yet as I keep thinking the problem will go away but it's not.
Avatar f tn Doesn't your chest close up when sleeping on your back? if I sleep on my back, within minutes I'll get hot, sweaty and dizzy!
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!
Avatar n tn i cut my finger 3 weeks ago by the hook on the side of kayaks. The surface has healed, but looks swollen and a little sore. Do i need to see a doc? thanks.
Avatar f tn I'm so tired of all the swelling. I woke up this morning and my hands are so swollen they actually hurt...
Avatar n tn At first I could easily popit by pulling the finger straight out, and now after sleeping all night I can pop it by pushing the top of my finger to the side.. Thanks again.
Avatar f tn My swelling started to go down between 1 and 2 months and that is when I started to be able to feel the gap and the screws. the swelling is likely normal. Sleeping with your head elevated can help keep some of the swelling down, as can making sure you are taking it easy and not overdoing it. At 1 month out, I was still very limited in what I could do.
Avatar f tn It's important to get an accurate measure of how often your brain "forgets" to breathe vs. how many times you obstruct while sleeping. Central sleep apneas are commonly seen in people with heart failure, which is also associated with leg swelling. Talk to you doctor sooner than later about addressing these issues your issues.
Avatar f tn ok i will.

My doc has prescribed mobic for pain and tylenol pm for sleeping apart from plaquenil daily. i will research on Mixed connective tissue disease. thanks .
Avatar f tn I advise you to see a physiotherapist as soon as possible. Few things that can be given to you for improving the movement of your finger and reducing stiffness are a) Mobilization with heating modalities (paraffin wax bath) - in this procedure, a liquid like wax is heated to an extent that it can be a bearable temperature, and then the stiff finger is dipped for a few seconds. After few such dips, passive mobilization or assisted mobilization is done by a physiotherapist.
Avatar f tn So I went to my regular doctor yesterday and she told me I looked very puffy and my legs and while body and face are pretty swollen. I've been having leg issues at night with sleeping where they get really swollen and I can't sleep cause the pain is so bad. She told me to call my OB asap. I'm a ftm, 29 weeks and 3 days.... What could be going on?
Avatar m tn 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.
