Is Pain Around The Knuckles A Serious Condition?
Hello. I am 21 year old hairstylist. I use my fingers a lot since I am always doing hair. The past few weeks it’s been slow at the Salon so I haven’t really over used them but I do have a bad habit of popping them. The other day I woke up and only the fingers in my right hand kinda hurt near my knuckles when I close my hand or use them. Could this be anything serious? I’ve also had this happen in the past and they felt sore a few days then went away. Thanks.

Hi,
It is due to minor inflammation or contusion due to overuse. Nothing much to worry and you can take analgesics like diclofenac or paracetamol for symptomatic relief. Generally, the symptoms will subside in a couple of days without any complications.
