I just sow your post and I'm dealing with the same tumor on my index finger for the past year. I would like to be more informed about your treatment, I don't want to loose my finger.

On my left hand, my index finger is longer than my middle finger, my ring finger is shorter than my middle finger. On my left had, my middle finger is shorter than both other fingers (ring & middle). It's nver caused any problems but I've always wondered why my Mom & I had it.

I am 23 year old female and have enchondroma on my left hand index finger. Should i get it operated? What diffrence will i feel after it has been operated.

my index finger is geting swollen in the middle and it stings when bend it what can be the cause of it

My right index finger has been swollen for a month now. the knuckle is painful to the touch, but i'm able to bend it. Any ideas what it could be?? Thanks for any help!

I took a puck off of my right index finger and didn't really notice any immediate pain. Over the next couple days I noticed that I couldn'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.

First, I understand your frustration. Before I found out what my first trigger finger was, I was fully prepared to request amputation because it was making my entire hand useless. I've had 3 surgeries over the past 2 years, freeing 4 fingers and removing a ganglion cyst from one. Did your surgeon send you to physical therapy? You need to keep moving your hands and fingers, despite the pain. Scar tissue (adhesions) starts to form a couple of months out from the surgery.

Several years ago I was indirectly struck by lightning on my finger. Ever since I have had severe nerve pain. Cold is simply unbearable let alone if I hit my finger on anything. I have been to several doctors and NO one can help me. I have even attempted accupuncture to no avail. I am currenty taking Lyrica, which helps a little, but not much. I have tried topicals as well. I am to the point where I just want my finger amputated. The pain is just too much!! Any suggestions?

What could cause my index finger to be numb and tingle when touching the joint of the finger?

Back in March I was holding a little girl that was standing on my lap and she lost her balance and squatted down. My hand was behind her knee and my right index finger popped and then hurt really bad for awhile. I assumed it would go away and it didn't. A few days later I went to urgent care. They took x-rays and saw nothing and told me to take ibuprofen and continue to use it like normal.

I am a 56 years old female and in relatively good health. I take one medication for hbp. Recently the middle joints of my little fingers are very tender, red and tend to be very itchy, if that makes any sense and I've also begun noticing some tiny red nodules at the first joint of my index fingers and little fingers. Some times the nodules are a little more pronouced than other times.

After the voting I realized that my index finger has the lilltle thingy ( like skin peel off ur index finger and present a small cut). Because my finger already cover with the ink I cannot see clearly if the cut already formed the scab to protect the open and m not sure when did I get that.

I had surgery the following day and had 2 pins inserted into my index finger. I had those pins in my index finger for 4 weeks (just had them removed on 1/10/11). I haven't been able to move that index finger for 4 weeks since the pins were still in there, as any movement in that finger caused extreme pain...but now my index finger seems to be stuck in that same position (slightly curved, as if holding a cup).

My index finger has chronic pain when it is exposed to cold temps. or if my circulation is lessened in that arm. It's just that finger and only at the finger nail, cuticle area. The feeling is similar to getting it smashed into something. Also, when no pain is present, if I hit it ever so slightly on something, it might as well have been smashed in a door, the feeling would be the same!

i have a orange brown rust color spot on the inside tip of my index finger on my right hand just notice it this morning and wont wash off

I cut the knuckle of my R index finger on a deli/meat slicer 2 days ago, The ER dr said I had a layer of fat over the muscle left over the bone & that was it. I got 12 stitches. The dr didn't think I cut the tendon b/c I could move my index finger although I had a lot of pain. He diagnosed it as a AVULSION INJURY.

During foreplay with my partner, I used my middle finger to stimulate my partner but am worried that with my index finger in close proximity to the vagina, a pregnancy is possible? If a finger that came into contact (actually touched vs grazed) with the wet spot on my jeans cause a pregnancy after stimulating my partner?

Arthritis?? Have skiers thumb for about a month. Woke up in morning and index finger on my dominant right hand was swollen and painful when bending. Does arthritis have flare ups or is this permanent..I have a history of psorasis and was wondering if it could be psoriatic arthritis?? Should I keep it exercise or immobilized??

If I point my index finger up and bring it close to my eye the tip of my index finger will disappear and I can see double of my finger as well. But the doubled image tip does not disappear. is this normal?

The other probelm is a pain flowing down to my right hand index finger from my shoulder and a sense of heaviness around my gallbladder area. Any suggestions?

but a week and a half ago another one formed on the same finger (my right index finger) just a little below where the other one did... this one did the exact same thing and is now in the process of turning into another scar. now.. This morning I woke up and realised another one has formed on my left hands index finger... What is it and what should I do?

Hello Dr.Santos, Actually the finger that was painful the other day is okay. I mentioned that my index finger was hurting on my left hand to my chiropractor during my regular biweekly adjustment. She gave me an adjustment on the inside of my elbow, she said it was connected to my index finger. After the adjustment, my index finger doesn't hurt any more. However, I do have pain sometimes on several fingers of my right hand, not today though.

I have this problem, burning pain between index finger and 2nd finger. I cannot clench my fist unless I straighten index finger then I can make fist with the other three. I have never heard of this before, so if you have no answer I will have to goto.
