Hello, My name is Pat. I am a bartendr on the weekends and last weekend I noticed thatmy hand was hurting. It seemed to hurt worse and worse through out the night. It wasn t the worst pain of my life but I felt like it wasnt good. Weird thing is that I don t recall doing anything to it to my hand. I am pretty active but have no clue were this pain was coming from. Anyway, i make up the next morning and my hand is swollen. I iced it and rested it for days and seemed to feel a little better. I notice that it seems to be the metacarpal of my middle finger. when i pit my other hand over top of it and open and close my hand it seems to creek if that makes any sense... It feels like what an old door sounds like, again, maybe a poor description. It was only swollen for a day but still doesnt feel qiute right. Thanks for any advice. Thanks, Pat
