Swelling In Knuckle, Getting Larger, Painful. What Is The Cause?
the little finger of my right hand has a robin egg size hard swelling on the top of the knuckle. It first appeared on Monday and got larger by tuesday. I've tried asprin and Ice with little effect. Finger is painful and the pain is working its way up into the hand effecting the ring finger with mild swelling on the back of the hand. i believe this may have been cause by being hard headed and trying to use the hand anyway
