Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling in finger along with burning and numbing sensation . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like abnormal levels of vitamin B12 or other vitamins, potassium, calcium, or sodium , poor blood supply to the affected area , herniated disk in your spine , pressure on your nerves diabetes or transient ischemic attack , cervical problem or stress . I would suggest you to apply cold compresses to your finger , drink plenty if water , eat healthy and do light exercise . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . If your are experiencing dizziness , shortness of breath or weakness along with numbness and tingling in legs then your should go to emergency .
