How To Treat The Swollen And Discolored Finger ?
My middle finger is swollen and discolored; the proximal phalange to be exact. I have some pain around it but I have some range of motion. I didn't feel it snap or pop throughout the day. I work as a mechanic so the work on my hands can be hazardous. Any idea what it might be? I know I didn't get bit by any insects or anything like it.

I read your question and understood your concern.
It can be an infection or inflammation of the finger and may need antibiotic treatment so you need to see the doctor.
