Pain And Swelling On The Finger Due To Injury. Difficult To Bend. Treatment?
I was at work when I somehow injured my right little finger. I dont know how I did it. My hand was straight and all of a sudden it felt like my finger got a cramp in it and it hurt in the second joint and I couldnt move it without severe pain. Now it is swollen burns and is very painful when I try to bend it. It doesnt want to bend.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The difficulty in bending the finger after an injury can be due to a bone injury or a tendon injury. An X-ray of the hand is necessary for a proper diagnosis. Splinting the finger till then will help.
