Why Is My Knuckle Painful And Swollen?
Hello my right dominant knuckle at the base of the middle finger and part of the first finger is swollen and painful and warm to the touch. I did not injure it. I woke up with mild pain that progressed and has been persistent for about a month. It is also warm to the touch.
