Avatar n tn i thought it was just a jam. now it still hurts but only if i stretch it or movie alot. it is my right middle finger and it hurts around the knuckle. it hurts alittle to the right and to the left of the knuckle when i push down on it also. but there is absolutely no swelling at all. and also no difference in color or size hen my other middle finger. i was wondering whats wrong with it, and if i should do anything about it.
Avatar f tn It has been three months since the injury and the pain is still the same. It hurts when I hold my finger and move it side to side and up and down and also when pressure is applied. It also hurts between the knuckle and the beginniing part of my finger when pressure is applied. Also it hurts on my knuckle when pressure is applied. Should I get it looked again right away? Both my middle knuckle and the knuckle on my pointer finger still looks enlarged. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar n tn Hello Doctor, I am a 58 years woman who recently experiece finger join pain and stiffness and ankle stiffness in the early morning. I went to see my pcp and have blood test done. The results showed negative RF, CRP and low ESR 13 but high ANA 1:1280 titer. He later referred me to see an rheumatologist. More test was done. The results were negative results for RF 7 (< 14) CRP <0.2 (0.0-0.9) antiCCP < 16 (<20) DNA double stranded < 1 (< 4) sjogren's ab <1.
Avatar m tn I had k-wire removed 10 days back from the index finger and middle finger of my right hand. However, both my fingers are very stiff, bent and swollen. There is hardly any movement in both of them. I have been doing physiotherapy (3-4 times a day for last 4 days). 1. Is this stiffness normal? I feel extreme pain as I try to straighten them 2. How long does it take for fingers to become normal?
Avatar f tn it sounds like some joint pain w wrist and fingers (compared w skin and musclular pain?), so a good dr or rheumatologist might have some clues. don't overtrain or force anything, it doesn't help. some stretching and routines that help maintain range of movement and flexibility are beneficial. just please don't pound your inflamed joints, it's damaging. if you find warm packs or cold packs help, do that.
Avatar n tn my index finger is geting swollen in the middle and it stings when bend it what can be the cause of it
Avatar n tn i severely sprained my pinky finger about 3 months ago, no break or fracture though. I've read that for severe sprains stiffness and swelling can last 6-9 months. get yourself over to the orthopedic doctor and he'll probably recommend you for physical therapy. ive been doing pt for a few weeks and I have almost regained full range of motion back but the swelling and stiffness persists.
Avatar f tn During all this my right ear feels clogged and I have popping sounds. Then the tingling down my right arm with stiffness in my middle finger and popping. Pain in the right shoulder and tingling in the neck and shoulders. Long story short, symptoms got way worse, drs ran a lot of test that came back negative. Nerve testing negative, everything else negative except ANA which was 160 with a range of <80. Dr said that's a slight elevation, everything's normal and I have fibromyalgia.
514349 tn?1272801633 Three days ago, I lacerated and punctured an area between my middle finger and that knuckle when a screwdriver slipped. It bled profusely. I went to an emergency clinic where they gave me a Tdap vaccination and put a stitch in the laceration and wrote a prescription for Cephalexin and told me to put ice in it for 20 minutes on and 20 off several times a day. It swelled up considerably. [url=https://imgbb.com/][img]https://i.ibb.co/yVcmMm7/hand1.
Avatar m tn Eight days ago I noticed a tiny black spot at the base of the nail of the middle finger, right hand. By coincidence I had a dermatologist appointment the same day. Doctor said to observe it and hopefully it will grow out. Since then the spot has increased slightly. No streaking. Slight stiffness in finger. Should I get a second opinion?
Avatar n tn It started with my index finger having spasms, and then moved to in between my middle finger and pointer finger knuckle. It now is deblilitating my pinkie and ring finger and causing some minor pain in the outside part of my wrist. With my hand straight out I cannot I cannot put my pinkie or ring finger together and I cannot get my ring finger together with my middle finger. Any thoughts? I have attached a pic of how close I can get my fingers together. I am 32 and relatively healthy.

Avatar m tn I had a serious accident on 12/5/10 where my middle finger was amputated between the 1st and 2nd joints (above the PIP) and my index finger was fractured (not sure what type of fracture, but it goes horizontally across my finger). Doctors were unable to save the middle finger, but they sewed up my index finger the night of the 5th (it was pretty much split open). I had surgery the following day and had 2 pins inserted into my index finger.
Avatar m tn Ever now and then, some days more than others I get a sharp burring sensation in my left pinky, or index finger that comes and goes quickly but is painful enough to make me stop what I am doing and if I am holding something I would either let go or drop it. I'm thinking arthritis but am not sure.
Avatar m tn Would this explain the the burning sensation and mild numbness to the right and left thumb and first finger mainly rhe problem is the right hand. Also the right middle finger I have moderate pain while closing the right middle finger most times. Could this be related to trauma to the neck and upper back approx. 20 years ago. A heavy box fell on the back of my neck while bending over to grab a box on a laddeor stair well.
Avatar m tn After this you might have developed stiffness and you can start physiotherapy and in 2 weeks you will be fine. (Total 6 weeks for complete recovery) But after the 5 weeks you can go for the violin playing and slowly increase your strengths and movements. You can hold the violin with left hand and use the stick with the right hand. Take care and you will be fine.
Avatar f tn So about three days ago, I started to experience a lot of pain in my hands (mainly left hand) specifically my middle and index finger. I don't really see any swelling and don't feel pins or needles/tingling but my pain is on my wrist, base of thumb, and knuckles. I have always experience morning stiffness but that's how it feels sort of but way more painful.
478554 tn?1208034407 Around 6 months ago, my left middle finger’s middle and bottom joints around the knuckle areas, started to be painful, particularly in the morning. When I tried to bend my middle finger, I feel the joint movement not smooth, kind of snap and bounce like a toggle switch. I am unable to fold and curl my middle finger back to touch my palm, like trying to hold a fist. When I put my finger in hot water, the joint movement is smoother and less painful.

371473 tn?1198810190 I am experiencing major stiffness in some of my joints in the morning - e.g right hand middle finger middle joint but not left one as much. My feet hurt especially after walking for longer than half an hour. Sometimes pain is worse when I walk and somtimes when I am resting. I am taking mobic and narcotics for pain which only sometimes help. The biggest help is capzasin cream 0.1% which relieves my pain for few hours but not always.
Avatar n tn ill see what he says in the morning!,my finger is in a removable splint which covers middle and index finger!,i was told by doctor to do exact ly what u said about moving it several times a day! it hurts!!! percocets are like pez to me now!! i cant use the warm water method due to pins sticking out of my finger and was told that i canot get finger wet due to infection risk!
Avatar m tn It became swollen, painful and unable to bend, a constant ache and stiffness, as well as a bruise on the inside of the second knuckle. Now I can bend it almost all of the way but still painful to do so, the swelling is down as well as the bruising but it is still stiff. Also when I lay my hand flat on the table and hold down my finger by pressing below the middle knuckle i can bend my injured finger backwards manually all the may to the middle knuckle.
Avatar m tn Go for an Orthopaedician examination and confirm the diagnosis and you would need rest, strapping of that finger and anti inflammatory drugs to cure your problem. Take care!
1116556 tn?1345115906 Last summer I woke up one day with pain and stiffness in ALL of my fingers, both hands. I let it go on for about 2 months and the symptoms continued to progress. I mentioned it at my next neuro appt. Over the course of about 6 weeks I lost my grip strength. I couldn't squeeze toothpaste, open water bottle, door knob etc. My neuro was sure I had carpal tunnel, so we did the testing for that. It was negative. So it was eventually determined to be spasticity.
Avatar f tn I was in a car wreck it caused whiplash and a head contusion in 2008 and I just had surgery for Herniated Disc I had pain and numbness in my right hand and fingers, in my arm numbness in my elbow pain in between my shoulder blades and across my shoulder, neck stiffness pain in my neck loss of motion in neck and major and many headaches I also had dizzy spells and major sinus problems form it. I tried PT and chiropractors they were a temporary fix and that was it.
Avatar f tn I also have had slight arthritis in my left elbow, hip and knee for about 20 years and now also have pain and stiffness in my ankles and both hips when sitting for awhile then getting back up to walk. I am 41 years old about 55 lbs overweight, don't know if all this is related or not, but thought I should include it just in case. Thanks. I am hoping someone might have some ideas? Please help, I'm tired of surgery and pain. Thanks.
