Hi, I Woke Up With A Swollen And Sore PIP
Hi,
I woke up with a swollen and sore PIP joint on my third finger about a week ago. I did not have any trauma to the joint. It is mildly painful when pressing on it and flexing that joint. Also, I cannot bend it completely as compared to my other hand. I am unable to get any of my rings on that finger and was able to wear them a few days prior. Should it be taking this long for the swelling to go down?
