my knuckle its self as sweld up greatly,and if i clentch my fist it looks like my middle knuckle is that of a giants. When you lay my hand out flat and touch it the skin is fuffy in spots and is kinda soft yet squishy, but when i make a fist it becomes hard as if you were touching a reguler knuckle. Im to poor to get a real medical diagnosis on it, so i hope i can get some answers here on what has happend and how to treat it.
I posted prior about pain in my knuckle starting in my left index finger knuckle. Since then, in early January of this year it transferred to the opposite knuckle. I went in to get tests done and they came back negative for RA, OA, and gout. Everything looked good on the x-rays and there was no cartilage worn down on the joints. Since I got it tested, the pain has continued to transfer to surrounding knuckles but not to the same pain level as the original left index finger knuckle.
You may have severely bruised the bone, or fractured it by the force that went on the hand as you landed.
An xray of the hand would be able to show whether you have caused damage to the bone.
In the meantime strap the middle finger to the two either side to immobilise it. You can apply a lot of natural yogurt to that part and lightly bandage it. This helps by drawing out the inflammation.
Keep your weight off that hand too until it is fully healed.
when i grip anything with my right hand, like scissors or any hand tool, and squeeze, i get a sharp pain in my middle knuckle, i noticed it about a year ago, it was not bad at all at first, but over the last week its become a constant. all other knuckles on both hands are fantastic otherwise,im dont recall any injury or reason why this is happening, any ideas?
thank you.
2 days ago I suddenly devoped pain in my left index finger at the knuckle. I can touch it and its ok, but if I move it at all in any direction, it hurts pretty bad. Late yesterday it started hurting some in the knuckle where my finger joins my hand, top and bottom. Its sore feeling in that area when I touch it. A vein on the right side of the finger is bulging out some and it seems to be slightly swollen. I can bend it, it just hurts.
possibly a fracture...one that involved the interphalangeal joint (knuckle). I would recommend xrays to aid in diagnosis. If it is non-displaced, rest, anti-inflammatories, splinting would help. Intra-articular fractures ( in the joint fractures) that are displaced, if left untreated, can lead to early arthritic changes. Strongly recommend orthopaedic evaluation....!
i had a total middle knuckle replacement on my right hand the knuckle that forms a fist, i had more range of motion with my old arthritis knuckle that i was born with, i will not never ever have another knuckle replacement i will keep the joints i was born with , i would rather have them because they have more range of motion and the silicone knuckle only provided 45 degrees of motion, if you go beyond that it will break, I regret having this operation, because i was better off with the knuckle
t push down on my finger/knuckle nor have an open hand and like you getting up using your hand or popping your knuckle with finger straight. Now my issue is that my work switched insurance companies and now I have crappy insurance and can't really afford to get it checked out let alone fixed. If it's something serious I will have to figure something out. Any help will be appreciated.
It is not as likely that your problem is carpel tunnel if you only have pain on the pack of your hand. It could still be a tendinitis, even though the pain is dorsal. The hand is very complex and their are a number of conditions that effect it's function.
I still suggest you follow the RICE protocol. It may offer some pain relief and avoid any injury to the part. And you certainly need to have a CT or MRI of your hand.
Not knowing the vehicle was behind me, I swung my hang back and punched the car. I punch the middle finger, Hand knuckle. (The ones you see when you make a fist) Anyways, It was horrible pain... I had limited movement and it hurt to make a fist or touch it. But heres the catch, I did'nt go get an xray or anything when it happend. Please dont give me any hate... I didnt want to get surgery because i'm a cheerleader and i didnt want to be out of cheer, so I waited.
If there is no fracture then anti-inflammatory pain killers help bring down pain and swelling. Usually simple knuckle fractures are treated by using a splint and taping the injured finger with the adjoining finger. Surgery is required if there is alignment problem, angulation problem or displacement of the fracture ends. Please consult an orthopedic specialist. Take care!
I have had pain in the main knuckle of the middle finger. I cannot pinpoint the exact cause of the injury. about six weeks ago I noticed shooting pain when i pushed the middle finger laterally while isolated from the other fingers across the sides of the knuckle. I also feel sharp pain when making a tight fist in the main knuckle or gripping my hand tightly around the grip on a weight.
I punched a wall and its all swollen around the side of my hand and my pinky knuckle and ring finger knuckle and my mom said my pinky finger looks a little odd. It hurts to move my hand and finger and its sometimes gets this kind of numb tingling feeling. It throbs and aches a lot and sometimes the throbbing goes up to my arm along with a shooting pain every now and again. I can barely move my pinky finger.
Thanks for answering!
regularly massaging your hand and fingers; and flexing your hand and fingers from time to time, towards improving it's flexibility and blood circulation.
Hello, I'm an 18 year old female with pretty bad joint pain (at least that's what I'm assuming it is.) When I was about 10 or 11, I discovered I was missing a knuckle on my right ring finger. My finger was then about the same size as my pinky, and seemed like it had a 'shrinking' effect, due to the fact all my other fingers were growing and my ring finger was not. I don't remember much about what the doctors said about it, as it was 8 years ago.
My orthopedic doctor simply removed the brace and told me to push down on it for several times a day for the next 4 weeks and then walked away with no other explanation. The hand remains swollen and deformed at the knuckle. I would like to know if I should have had surgery? Can anything else be done? Should I seek another opinion? or is this just how it is done? What are the long term effects of having a misaligned 5th metacarpal?
If it doesnt get better, go get an x-ray just to make sure. Also, if you cant possibly extend your finger of the knuckle your jammed without serious pain, it might be broken. The black and blue mark will get worse as the days go by but ice it tonight really good and see what happens tomorrow. If it burns and stings real bad it might be broken.
i was rough housing and we got a little serious i punch him in the side of his head and my knuckle was throbbing with pain the second i landed the punch and it got swollen it hurts when i try to clench my hand and it happened yesterday i p ut ice on it but not working

About a month and a half ago I went to Vietnam to train for my martial arts. and I was punching the floor and hurt my middle finger's knuckle. It started to swell and I felt pain on my knuckle everytime I would barely touch it. And I've been rubbing on some asian remedy on it and it's helped a little bit with the pain, but it's still swollen pink and even though it doesn't hurt when you touch it anymore, throwing a punch at a bag or another person hurts my knuckle still.
I'm not entirely sure how I did it, but I am concerned my pinky knuckle is broken. It could have been from work the other day, where i crushed my hand between two roll cages, or a gym injury in one of my subsequent workouts.
Weirdly, I only noticed a bit on pain the day after the work injury, and it further increased yesterday, and to the point it is today.
I was diagnosed with trigger finger (middle finger, right hand), but my research shows its only on the palm side of the hand. Mine is on the top of the hand on the knuckle. The tendon on the top of the knuckle rolls to the right off the knuckle when bending the finger down (like a fist). When I raise it back up, it locks but will "pop" back into place. I can see the tendon pop back up on the knuckle. The knuckle is painful to the touch.
I woke up and the spony feeling is gone it must've been fluid. But my whole hand still hurts when I move it around. My knuckle is warm to touch and when I feel around it doesn't hurt as much because I'm expecting the pain, but when I do it feels like its chipped or something. My mom says since I can move it nothings wrong, but should it still hurt and feel like it's dented or chipped ?
