1744581 tn?1311302411 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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).

467797 tn?1216211257 I have had about 5 corticosteroid injections in my left index finger over the course of those 3 years. Previously the shots did wonders and I was pain free, but not with my last injection. My finger is stuck in a bowed position, the tendon is standing out and feels very hard and it (finger and joint) gets very swollen. Also, pain is radiating down into my palm In the past few days, my finger is now slightly tingling but I am not sure if it's from the TF or my Raynaud's.
Avatar f tn Any info anyone has is greatly appreciated My husband cut his tendon (not all the way through) in his index finger (one that runs along the top) 3 weeks ago (near the base of his finger)...he was treated in emergency where they stitched it together and gave him a splint to wear. He has been in a lot of pain since and had a lot of swelling that is still happening. He has seen our family dr a couple of times who doesn't think it's doing as well as it should.
Avatar m tn Turns out arthritic carpal bones have injured tendons to 1st thumb then index finger a month later. Wrist has to be fused to prevent further damage and carpal tunnel tendon repair attempted in 2 separate surgeries. Can I do any kind of (light) weight training or use a rowing machine after healing up?
Avatar m tn the stiffness is at the surgical part and extends to half of the thumb,the beginning of the index finger and the whole part under and in between those 2 fingers..when i keep moving them,the stiffness is lighter,but when i relax my arm for hours,its al hard as a rock.
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 After the bite, my left hand went numb from my index finger to my thumb. I woke up this morning and have regained feeling in my index finger, but am still experiencing numbness in the thumb region. Should I seek medical attention or will it heal by itself?
Avatar f tn Although just now I have a sharp pain going from his time my thumb and index not little finger as first thought in past weeks straight up my left fore arm. Also does anyone know could your period make things worse? As for maybe last 2 weeks or so uncomfortable pains has eased off abit. So what is this without bothering the doctor?
Avatar m tn It occurs when I press the left side of the joint ( the one closest to my index finger) using my thumb. I don´t know if it is the bone or some kind of ligament or tendon that is actually moving, but I can fell something moves out of place. I don´t feel any kind of pain and the joint seens to be working properly.
Avatar m tn Last night I was laying in bed on my left side, and turned around to the other side and suddenly my left thumb and index finger felt weird and they wouldnt extend. I could move them slightly up, but its like they got stuck halfway. After 20 seconds or so, they went back to normal and I got this electric feeling all the way from hand to shoulder. I had this weird tightening/pain right at the wrist too. I havent had any issues since.

Avatar m tn The most pain arises deep in the wrist joint if I were to lean into my hand flat on the floor in the direction of my index finger knuckle while on my hands and knees, moderate pain arises over the scaphoid and in the insertion point of the tendon with extension of the hand while just standing up with no pressure of any sort, and mild pain over the lunate with flexion of the hand while standing up. This has been on going for many months and was not caused by any injury to the hand.

Avatar f tn my mcp joint on my right index finger is also a problem if it moves to the side as in using a knife for chopping things, my left knee has a ligament that should be fixed and often locks and my sacro illiac joints hurt quite a lot on both sides. I have had 3 shoulder ops for rotator cuff and a bicep tendon tear. I have a prolapsed disc in my L5 S6.
Avatar n tn Hello Dear A trigger finger occurs when the motion of the tendon that opens and closes the finger is limited, causing the finger to lock or catch as the finger is extended. Tendons that control the movements of the fingers and thumb slide through a snug tunnel of tissue created by a series of pulleys that keeps the tendon in place. The tendon can become irritated as it slips through the tunnel.
Avatar m tn Now, my index finger feels as if I dropped something on the nail, and feels swollen. I am trying to work (keyboarding and pencil-writing notes), but it hurts too much too continue. It was okay for about 3 hours, even though I could actually feel something slipping back and forth in my hand while I write. Is this probably minor enough that I can just stabilize it with some sort of brace and try not to overuse it?
Avatar f tn I took some orally and it knocked out the swelling til I stopped taking them and then it came back. And got a steroid injection in my index finger which helped so much (I couldn’t move my Index all the way down and now I can pretty much can) but it’s still swelling. No numbness or tingling in the tips of my fingers. My whole arm feels tight and weak from not using it for months. So is it a sprain, a strain, arthritis? None of the three doctors I’ve gone too can diagnose me.
Avatar n tn About 7 years ago I had an accident that resulted in me cutting the flexor tendon in one of my hands. I had lost all ability to move my index finger. Long story short, I had surgery (2 weeks after the incident) followed by a few weeks of physical therapy. The therapy had only just begun (splint came off, 2 weeks post operation) and my insurance cut me loose. My finger had about 10% movement ability at that time.
Avatar n tn I injured my thumb right after Thanksgiving and was initially diagnosed with a sprain. The worst pain was at the joint farthest from my wrist. New Year's Eve I was diagnosed with trigger thumb and prescribed 8 physical therapy sessions. (The tendon at the base of the thumb is noticeably thick) I had little to no improvement after the PT (over a 4 week period) and sought a second opinion.
