Could be trigger finger.

Detailed Answer:
Hi , I am Dr.Gopal.Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
In my opinion this swelling in your hand at the base of middle finger, is called trigger finger. For this I suggest you take pain killers, do hot fomentation and apply local analgesic cream
If you do not her relief in 10/days , then you may have to consult your orthopedic surgeon for proper diagnosis and treatment.
