What Is The Reason For Pain In The First Joint Of The Right Index Finger?

I have pain in the first joint of the right index finger when I bend it not so much when I touch it but press on the joint with alot of pressure. The second joint in my right index finger does not hurt at all. The joint pain has been lasting for the last two days no swelling, redness to the area. No fever or other symptoms

Hi,

I have studied your case with diligence

You may need X ray of hand to rule out any minor fracture.
You can consult your doctor for x ray and further treatment.

Do ice application, and give rest to finger.
If there is no fracture physiotherapy will help to reduce pain.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
