What Causes Pain And Swelling In Fingers?

So 2 days ago I notice the tip of my thumb hurt when pressure was applied like picking something up heavy and I use my thumb. I didn t think anything of it. Last night when I woke up in the middle of the night my whole thumb was hurting and when I woke up this morning it was swelled and some of my hand was swelled and lots of pain. As of tonight it is swelled even more and my whole hand is swelled and tons of pain in my thumb area. I can t bend it or hardly move my thumb. I did not injure it or did anything to cause this. I looked around on my hand and arm to see if there was any bites but, did not notice anything. It just came on, on its own out of no where. This seems weird. Now today I notice 2 of my other fingers on the other hand the tips are hurting as my thumb did when this first started. Now thinking my other 2 fingers are going to end up the same as my thumb. Any ideas how this happen, why this happen, what cause this? Thank You.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello

I have studied your case,


I will advise to do mri to see any ligament disease in your thumb.
There is possibility of injury to ligament of metacarpal or phalange joint.
If you are having swelling and pain you can strap your finger to get proper rest to joint.
Use ice packs to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain.
For early healing you can take Tab celin [vit C] and antioxidant with anti-inflammatory [Tab enzomac plus ].

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
