Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi you have something in the base of your index finger which pains when you press it but there is no lump. In my opinion you have what is called Trigger finger in early stages when the pain or triggering has not started. I Suggest that you do hot fomentation twice daily and do not press it again.
