Have Swelling In Hand, Numbness, Noise In Joint After Stretching Finger. Is This Strained Tendon?
I was attempting to reach something with my ring finger and think I stretched it too far. Since I injured it a week ago, I have had swelling in my hand, numbness in my pinkie finger, and a creaking noise/feeling in the joint at the base of my finger. Is this most likely a strained tendon? Do I need to see a doctor for this?
