Suggest Remedy For Pain And Swelling In Finger
Hello, my finger started to be swollen during 3 days, when I bend, slightly hurts. No redness or real pain. Just I can feel like noisy cracks when I bend it. What I can use for diagnosis : xRay, CT scan or thermography? Maybe something else?Thank you:)

Hello,
I have studied your case. I think that it can be a trigger finger or early arthritis. I would suggest you to meet a orthpaedic surgeon and get x ray of the finger to confirm the diagnosis. if there is any sign of trigger finger than you can be benefited from steroid injections.
If there is sign of arthritis than hot water fomentation and volitran ointment is helpful for you.
You can share your x ray with me. I wil try my best to help you.
Thanks
