Avatar m tn Now today my whole hands hurts like deep inside I feel this painful sharp pain and I think my finger is still a bit swollen. I don’t feel the pain all the time only when I get my hands into some positions. My right hand feels kind of weak and the muscles feel dry. What this could be? I have anxiety but I don’t think that is causing the pain. I’m scared I might have MS. I’m 19 by the way. Any ideas what this could be?

Avatar f tn I'm a 28 year old female and I have been having swelling, stiffness and pain of my right index finger knuckle for over 2 years. It started off as a little right itchy bump on my knuckle (it kind of looked like a welt) and it felt like it was on fire. I noticed it would flare up when it would rain and there was high humidity. From there it has progressed to swelling and it is usually stiff. It has been swollen for so long now that it has started to deform my joint.
Avatar f tn I decided to remove it at night of the fourth day, because it was already too painful for me to endure. It was swollen, and white at the top, and dark underneath. When I woke up the color of the skin on my finger turned dark brown. It was less swollen but still painful. How do I treat this?

Avatar m tn t form a fist because my finger was very swollen and hurt to bend that far. Upon further observation I noticed that my first finger knuckle had become very wide, but the rest of my finger remained regular size. It is also very sensitive to touch. This injury happened about a month ago, and I left it assuming it would just heal itself as most injuries seem to. It has not gotten any better or worse in the last month, but it is still painful to make a fist and is still sensitive.

Avatar m tn The break is at the second joint right under the knuckle. It is still swollen. It is also red and very painful. If i bump it at all it is unbearable.

Avatar f tn Hello. I have a small wound at the side if my nail. Its been days since i had it.. At first it was just a minor cut. But since i was a forest area i didnt have time to wash it thoroughly.. I plastered my finger and i find that it was so painful that i can't even touch it. I opened up my plaster and found out that there's some pus and the area is swollen. It looked like i have raw flesh sticking out and it sticks at my nail.
Avatar n tn punctured my finger in the joint and now it is swollen and I cant bend it and it really is painful I dont know what to do
Avatar m tn In the mean time you can splint the finger to keep the pain to a minimum. I bought those elastic finger sleeves in the first-aid section of the pharmacy, and slid a popsicle stick underneath it to hold the finger straight.
Avatar n tn Hi there- have had a swollen finger for about four days- no injury. been taking mobic and tylenol arthritis . not much improvement. went to dr. today and he prescribed me prednisione. but my bp was high and that was kind of upsetting. can an arthritic flare, if thats what it is, make your bp jump? thanks.
Avatar n tn The infection can be due to Herpes Simplex virus 1 and 2 or due to bacterial infection. Symptoms include a swollen painful finger tip. Treatment is by antibiotic or antiviral therapy depending on the cause and there may also arise a need to drain it. Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
