What Can Cause Severe Cramp In The Knuckle Of The Small Finger?
My hand all of a sudden had a huge cramp, pinky knuckle area. I shook it trying to get rid of the cramp. It wouldn t go away, I have never had a cramp in my hand, I looked at it, and now I have a huge bruise surrounding my knuckle, about an inch. How did this happen. I don t think I hit it.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Most often there might be a small hairline fracture that went undetected. You can go for an MRI scan to look for thin fractures that may not visible in routine X-ray. As of now you can take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain. Apply ice packs for pain relief. If MRI finds anything abnormal, consult an orthopedic and get evaluated.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
