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 f tn My finger has been swollen and painful for 1week . I went to the doctor and they prescribed Sulfamethoxazole and said I have felon infection.It has puss oozing from the side of it as of today.On the top of my nail it has a purple streak and also still has puss..What should I do?
15740368 tn?1442665097 I sympathize - I caught my middle finger in the car door about a month ago. Smashed it nicely, with a cut running from the fingertip under the nail and out the side. I thought I would lose the nail but I haven't. The cut part I cleaned very well with iodine solution, and kept a breathable bandage on it. I personally use vitamin E frequently on cuts after one to 2 days as it seems to helps my tissue heal and reduces scarring.
1524304 tn?1326396974 The other thing I noticed that pointer and middle finger were swollen a bit and I think they still are bit bigger (fingertip area) than same ones on other hand. The sensitiveness comes and goes by the day. Also found a tiny red dot on middle finger, under that I can feel tiny lump which isn't painful. Overall there wasn't significant pain since the day after incident. When I touch around the pointer's joint I feel it's bit sensitive to harder pushes.
Avatar f tn Hello. I smashed my thumb in my car door and I can normally just deal with pain but this hurt so bad it made me cry. I had it x-rayed in the ER but the Dr said it wasn't broken just bruised. But I was told by a nurse in training that they can't really tell if it's broke when it's swollen. But its been about 2 days and it's still swollen twice the size its supposed to be, the bruises are a bluish green. it's been feeling numb/tingly ever since.
Avatar f tn Got into the dr, it was an infection, first round of anitbiotics did not help, so they determined it was a resistant strain of staph infection. 2nd round helped, finger is just a little swollen now and only slightly purple.
Avatar m tn 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!
Avatar f tn Since then i had it washed and thinking that the pain will be gone soon but now the area is already dried but the area is still swollen and it gets purple at the area and just below my cuticle, it gets really painful if i bump that finger into something.. Any advice on this? Thank you!
Avatar f tn Hello, My 9 yr old daughter came to me with swelling on the balls of her one foot two days ago. I looked and there were three relatively undefined redish purple spots on the center. I thought plantar warts. Today, she showed me her right index finger was swollen at the base. As I'm falling asleep, my wife tells me she also has a similar swollen spot on her breast. All spots are painful. I'm very worried and cannot find anything on the web that would link the three. Please advise.
Avatar n tn I cut my finger (on the knuckle) some weeks back, My entire finger became swollen, with a red bump where the cut is, and both sides of the knuckle also swollen, with there being a small red rash at the base of the finger. It hurts whenever there is pressure on the finger or when I bend it. I went to the doctor's last week and he said it was an infection of the cut and prescribed a week-long course of flucloxacillin which I have been following and is due to end tomorrow.
Avatar f tn my hands are always cold, sometimes fingernails turn a blue colour. 2 toes were swollen for a week, and my right middle finger gets a burning sensation in the fingertip thats last 30 secs? ive been checked out from head to toe, but docs havent said anything!
Avatar f tn I have had a small electrical sensation at the base of my right, middle fingernail. This lasted most of the weekend, and now my nail feels as if it has been smashed. My left little finger has also hurt (throbbed) for two days . . . but it is a different kind of pain . . . Any ideas???? None of this is unbearable . . . just odd!!

535429 tn?1213399529 m scheduled to have a ganglion removed from the back of wrist soon, but recently i accidentally smashed it and it moved about an inch from where it previously was and it is more painful now. Is this something I should have checked out before my date to have it removed?

Avatar n tn Palm, top of hand, and fingers to first knuckles are purple, black and blue. The hand is swollen and hurts to move fingesr. Do you think I need to have a Dr. look at it?
Avatar n tn I have a small bruise on my right shoulder blade. It's about half a centimetre in diameter. It's purple round the outside and has a small red circle in the middle. It's not painful, swollen etc. It does not feel hard and it is not a lump, it's smooth with the skin and you only notice a slight difference to the touch if you run a finger over it very carefully. I've had this now for a few months and it doesn't seem to be changing at all.
Avatar f tn -( and earlier that day he had smashed his finger and a little bit before it happened he went to the bathroom now i am worried that somehow blood or seman was on him when this happened.
1123420 tn?1350561158 You will need to call your doctor. Poor circulation could be the culprit but you definitely don't want to have a blood clot or a life-threatening condition that is going untreated. Call them and see what they will have you do.
Avatar f tn I have had a sore throat, as well a swollen tonsil for a month or so before this contact. However, this tonsil is still swollen, and hurts on occasion.
Avatar m tn There was a purple dot on the finger tip pad which she thought might have been a splinter so she picked away a few layers of skin there with a sterile needle and tried to squeeze it out. She thought she might have got a little something but the finger was still extremely painful with a very sharp pain and it was hugely swollen. So she bandaged it up and I was put on a course of anti biotics for about a week. I soaked it in hot water each day and finished the course.
Avatar f tn Red, raised, painful to touch I the back of my hands. They can itch like crazy or have intense burning. Hands are sore like that have been smashed. It started with a small bump on my middle knuckle on my finger. I honestly thought I had a little burn from a hot ash. Within 24 hours there were multiple spots larger in size and now on both hands. It has steadily gotten worse and larger in size. Doc prescribed steriodal cream and referred to a specialist. May be weeks before the get me in.
Avatar f tn It started off as a blood blister when he smashed his finger while at work. He kept messing with it and it turned into what we think might be a wart, but wart treatments aren't working, and it's very large and painful to the touch. I'm sure it's soemthing he's done to. A friend of mine suggested it might a wart grown over an infection that ke caused from messing with the blood blister. Any in site would be greatly appreciated.
