Finger joint bruising
Common Questions and Answers about Finger joint bruising
finger
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.
the injury occured in the middle joint, joint that is above the knuckle. However on the inside of this joint (facing the middle finger) it looks bulged or rounded. I traced my finger over it and it is definitely rounded and very hard. I know the joints are naturally a bit roundish on the outside but this is large compared to the ring finger on my right hand. Also looking at it you can see the bulging.
I was wondering if this is bone or a bone I was feeling?
The exact location of the injury would be the middle pinkie joint that is right along side the ring finger. This happened two months ago, I haven't been to the hospital yet because this is a common injury in the trade. So far the swelling subsided barely, but there is a small lump on the inside of the pinky. It hurts (9/10) when any pressure is presented. I have decided to buddy tape the finger for the past 2 days. I have to admit there is a lot of discomfort and some pain(3/10).
Trauma
Direct injury to the finger is the most common cause of finger pain in children. Typically, there will be signs of bruising, a cut or a scrape that will help you to detect an injury. Other injuries can be more subtle. If a child complains of pain and you cannot see any injury, be sure to look closely. Use a magnifying glass to look for splinters or foreign objects like glass.
about 6 months ago i started to experience pain in my right hand around the middle knuckle- but more the area between the pointer and middle finger from the base of the finger to the middle of the top of my hand. its often swollen and i noticed a bruise on the top of my hand in that area today. i had an xray when the pain started and they saw nothing.
It looks like there is a lot of swelling just in the middle joint but there is no bruising just slight redness. Non of my other fingers are like that. I looked up a lot of symptoms and I've heard i have osteoarthritis and some kind of nodes or I've been told i have ealy stage of arthritis but nobody tells me what it really is. I can't bend any of my fingers no not we they a little wiggle but I learned to use it again and having this now is severly meddling with my daily routine.
I dislocated my left ring finger at the middle joint just over a week ago. It was bent sideways over the middle of my pinky for about 3 hours. I went to the ER and they pulled it back into place, did x-rays (no fracture), and splinted up the finger and told me it should be getting back to normal in about 3 days.
Other differential diagnosis would include carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or gout of first metacarapal-phallengeal joint. Take a second opinion and see. An X-ray of the thumb joint, MRI of thumb and wrist, RA factor, thyroid panel, clinical examination, etc will be required for a confirmed diagnosis. Consult an orthopedic specialist. Take care!

maybe it was a pinched nerve or something or the joint wasnt lined up .when i pulled on my finger it turned what seemed to be 360 .it made me a little bit nervous so i went home and told my parents and they took me to the hospital and it was xrayed and splinted .so in my case it was fractured.the splint kept it from breaking the rest of the way and it heeled nicely .there you have it the full account .
I am 45 years old, female, overweight (by about 50 lbs). The problems is, I have bruising and discoloration on my knuckles but I haven't hit my hand anywhere. It started with the baby finger and it was a very purplish bruise and only around the middle knuckle to the end of the finger. It went away in 2-3 days. Then the middle bottom (closest to the hand) of my middle finger has turned very purple/blue/yellow in 1 day. I have not injured it. The left hand aches quite a bit.
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.
I dislocated my pinky finger 5 weeks ago. From joint to tip was perpendicular to bottom of finger. Was so horrified, I pulled up and put it back in place and iced it, but hurt so badly I went to the ER. X-ray showed no break and they said I did a really good job (straight). Taped it to a splint and told me to ice every 2 hours for 20 minutes and wear splint for 2 days.
I had profound arthritis in the right basal thumb joint. Almost 3 months later, I still have a lot of pain especially if I accidently bump it. I cannot bend the joint. I went through therapy and have done therapy at home on a consistent basis. I can turn the key in the car ignition but that is about the extent of use. I can't lift anything requiring my wrist or finger to bend. Has anyone had this surgery and what has been your experience? Thanks!
Yesterday I fell while hiking and broke my finger (right hand ring finger) Went to the ER got an x-ray that showed the break in-between the knuckle and the last joint on the finger. They gave me a referal to an ortho but he is out of town for a couple of weeks, so they said to call my Dr to get a referal for an ortho as soon as possible. The finger is severally swollen, bruising bad and I can't move it up or down.
Hi all, I’m after needing some advice, I’m currently suffering from hip pain that alternates between the left and right hip joint more towards the groin where the hip joints are. I’m a 32 female neve had this sort of pain before and in good health. So I’ll just let you know a little of an incident that happened few months back, maybe this could be the reason my dr doesn’t think so I think otherwise.
Usually the pain is at its worse during the night. It first starts with pins and needles then it feels like severe joint pain that gets worse. I've had this same finger hand pain before a few months back and it lasted for nearly a month then. At that time my doctor said it was trigger finger. She didn't seem sure and I thought it was strange to have trigger finger on all fingers on my left hand.
i smashed my finger with a bowling ball it automaticaly whent numb and then a severe pain ocurred for about an hour or more. but now it is extremely swollen and purple at the palm part of my finger closest to the palm but not at the tup it is numb and cold. im worried what do i do?
ve been having minor pain in the smallest joint on my fourth finger on my right hand. Because I work seven days a week during the school year, I never saw the doctor. But it started getting worse. It hurts, if my fist is closed, to bump the knuckle from above. It also hurts to stretch my fingers out (laying flat is okay, but if I try to stretch them at all, it hurts).
All of a sudden the piece of skin in between my thumb and finger has become stiff. I don't think it would be trigger finger but i might be wrong. It won't go either. What can I do? It's hard to stretch my thumb away from the hand and spread my fingers without it hurting.

m a house painter and recently brought my hand down onto the sharp point of one of my painting tools. It cut into the side if my rt hand middle finger, middle joint (between the knuckle and the lower joint) It bled a bit and swelled up of course. That was over two weeks ago. I still have noticable swelling in that joint, especially on the rt side, and considerable pain. The rest of my hand hurts lately, probably from compensating for the lack of use of the middle finger. Any ideas?
