Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Knuckle

i was using my electric knife to cut some homemade bread last night and I suddenly got a pain in my left hand little finger which was cramp like. I had to stop as it was really painful and I couldn t straighten the finger. It is very painful and I still cannot straighten it today. The knuckle is swollen and very painful to the touch. Is this a ganglion?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thanks for seeking help on your issue; I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion, the sudden pain in your finger could have stem from sudden muscle spasm, take some analgesics like paracetamol 500mg twice daily, take some rest, and get investigated for anaemia, or vit deficency.
I hope I have been able to provide you with a satisfactory solution, if you want to clear any doubts about my opinion, feel free to contact.
Any medication prescribed needs to be taken after consultation with your personal doctor only.
Thanks
Dr. Narender Saini
