Why is my finger swelling up

Common Questions and Answers about Why is my finger swelling up

finger

Avatar f tn Recently, my finger ring finger on my left hand started to hurt. There is no sign of swelling or bruising. When I'm bending it, it will make a popping sensation. Sometime when I put my hand into a fist and try to open it, all my fingers but my ring finger will move up. And can try as hard as I can but I can't get it to move without touching it for a while. But if someone pushes it back up, they feel no resistance. Same if I move it with my other hand.
Avatar f tn It is still hurting her. Her middle finger to her pinky finger is fine, no swelling there. Her index finger and thumb are extremely swollen. Her fingers are dry and cracking at the joints. Her wrist is swollen and the palm of her hand is the worst part. She has broken blood vessels in every spot that is swelling. No discoloration at all, except the broken blood vessels ofcourse. I have pictures if you need to see them.
7301641 tn?1391016954 t tell me why when I asked so I kept asking and he was ignoring me so I got super mad and threw the papers I was holding and knocked over the trash can. Idk what I did but the top of my finger is bruised and swollen to the point it is hard. Should I go to the er? This happened around 4 and its 630 swelling hasn't changed....
Avatar f tn The only way to know for sure if you finger is broken or not is to have an x-ray done. You can call your doctor for a prescription or you can go to the emergency room. In the meantime, use ice on the finger to help reduce swelling. Good luck.
Avatar f tn I have always had problems with constipation and at times have to help myself remove feces using my finger. I had to do this recently and noticed does not feel close to what it always has. I don't really know how to explain it but it is like my whole inside of my anus is completely swollen. Its even like I have to feel around as though the swelling has caused folds (for lack of a better term) and doesn't go relatively straight up as usual. I am a 33 year old female with two children.
Avatar m tn I am a 23 year old female, with reynaud's phenomenon. Usually I suffer from very cold/numb hands, which only swell a little for maybe 10 minutes after they start to heat up. I woke up today with a very swollen index finger. I thought maybe I'd banged it, but now my little finger is swollen, too. They hurt to touch, and my hands are still cold and normal coloured. It's only on one hand - my right. I'm getting worried, now, because this hasn't happened before.
Avatar m tn 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. While on the other finger I can barely bend it at all. Do you think my finger is broken?
Avatar m tn just what looked like a single raised pimple on my finger... is this something I need to worry about? Could it possibly be an STD? Could it be realted to my herpetic whitlow? Thanks everyone...
903476 tn?1242237037 Maybe it has gotten better. The website I referenced above suggests that the problem that hands get is swelling, and if they are shrinking it means something has improved, as in, meds are changed and the new one doesn't cause the swelling, or medical condition that caused the swelling is improved. A size 7 ring is more or less average, the larger size ring is the size that suggests an issue versus a size 7.
Avatar f tn Well, it could be. Or it could be bruising. Never hurts to get it checked out. My husband has broken his finger and didn't follow up with medical care. He healed fine but his finger is a little crooked which is the risk. Try ice and resting it along with ibuprofen which helps with inflammation/swelling.
Avatar f tn t put pressure on that part of my finger, i have also noticed little red dots around my hand and up that middle finger. it almost looks like a blister, the skin is stretched and shinny, but i literally have no idea what it could be. the whole tip of my finger is very stiff and hurts to bend, but this has all come on very randomly, any advise would help!
Avatar n tn Do you think I might have caused an infection by putting my finger in there, or am I just overthinking it? Is it more likely that I just scratched it/irritated it with the soap? Thanks in advance!
Avatar f tn Two years later it began to turn bright red and hurt really bad. They found that I had started to grow a second finger (or bone) underneath my my finger. The best description of it would be a bone spur. I went thru ANOTHER surgery to get the bone removed before it could really hurt me. The bone came out and measured 2 and a half inches long.
Avatar f tn My fingers on my right hand swell overnight and have restricted mobility on first waking. Could this be caused by venous insufficiency as a result of Chemo administered in that hand?
Avatar f tn My normal blind spot since its the only blind spot i detect is bigger in my left eye than my right eye, why is this? when I close my right eye and move my finger across my face my whole finger will disappear, but when I do the right eye only a bit of it will disappear and I notice my blind spot more in my left eye than right. Can you tell me why this might be? Thanks!

Avatar f tn I stubbed my finger playing with my dog. My pip joint on my pointer finger is in slights pain when I apply pressure or bend it to a certain extent. There is no swelling, redness, or bruising. It does feels stiffer than usual but isn’t in pain if I hold it still. I’m wondering if this is something I need to get checked out or will it heal on it’s own.
Avatar m tn Three months ago i cut my pinky & ring finger on a saw , surgery was completed & been going to physio for two months to get mobility in the fingers where they had to re-attache the tendons , that stretching is going well but the swelling on back of hand--palm of hand & fingers are giving me a problem , i've been working through that issue(soaking hand from hot &cold water)(wearing compression gloves)(wrapping the hand)(wearing a splint)(arm elevated) (massage) & now anoth
903138 tn?1266767041 Its almost 3 months later and my finger is extremely sore and swollen. My knuckle is also a blue-ish color and unable to be fully extended and bent.
Avatar n tn I had a lot of swelling at the end of both of my pregnancies and I had bit feet. Try to put them up which helps with swelling. While it is normal for most women, it also can be a sign of blood pressure issues. Your doctor will check this . My doctor monitored swelling. She'd put her finger into it and it pitted (imprint of her finger stayed for a bit), that was more concerning.
