Suggest Treatment For A Lump On Middle Finger

I started developing pain in my left arm and hand with numbness and swelling during a long-haul flight Saturday/Sunday. It also feels if there is a small lump at the base of my left middle finger which causes pain in the area. Will this go away or should I seek medical attention?

HI.
The most common cause of such type of pain is a problem with the cervical spine.
I think you should seek a medical advise- This will allow you to be checked clinically/ physically to know the probable cause of all you symptoms including the lump on finger.

You may need an MRI of cervical spine and blood tests related to sugar and thyroid too.

I find this answer helpful
