Suggest Treatment For Swollen Finger
Question: I DISCOVERED THIS MORNING A PRONOUNCED BULDGE ON MY LEFT MIDDLE FINGER AT THE JOINT CLOSEST TO THE BODY OF THE HAND. I DO NOT RECALL BUMPING OR STRAINING THAT FINGER. THE BULDGE IS WARM TO THE TOUCH AND SLIGHTLY SORE. NONE OF MY OTHER JOINTS ARE SIMILARLY BULDGED.
Brief Answer:
This is probably arthritis!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I an so sorry to hear about this sore and swollen joint that you have reported. I have reviewed your information fully as well as the image. This is suggestive of arthritis. I will recommend that you take Ibuprofen for relief. Only seek further care if this fails to significantly regress within a week. Also, continue using the fingers and you may want to apply ice packs on it.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
