midde finger

[kunit38]

ok so about 2 or 3 weeks ago my fingers started hurting a little bit. i thought it was just a jam. now it still hurts but only if i stretch it or movie alot. it is my right middle finger and it hurts around the knuckle. it hurts alittle to the right and to the left of the knuckle when i push down on it also. but there is absolutely no swelling at all. and also no difference in color or size hen my other middle finger. i was wondering whats wrong with it, and if i should do anything about it.

Hi,
If the pain is due to over exertion,you would need to give rest to your hand,with massage and some NSAID to releive the pain.Do not write or lift anything which may aggravate the pain.
No surgery would be required if over exertion is the cause.

Hi,
You should consult an orthopedic physician and possibly the pain could be due to over exertion like writing as it seems you are a student.If this is not the cause then on examination the orthoprdician will best decide the diagnosis as it is difficult to presume anything without a physical examination .
