About two days ago I had a pretty hard fall where I caught myself with my hands. My hands were completely fine with the exception of my middle finger. The tip felt very sensitive almost like it was raw. Even the most gentle touch bothered it. I thought maybe there was a splinter in it, but no. The skin wasn't broken. Today the fingertip pain is gone, but is replaced by a tender bump that is in the dead center of the top joint right beneath my finger tip. It is very faintly blue also where the knot it. Never experienced this before. Anyone have an idea what it is?

    May I ask how old you are Rose?  I have this problem of 'bumps/knots' in all my finger tips.  It is, in my case, Osteoarthritis.  Whether OA can be triggered by a fall, I don't know!  Is it any better now?  You may just have a bad bruise.

      I'm 26. It's actually getting worse. It is larger and feels tight. The skin above it is also starting to turn red. It's just so odd. I've never experienced this.

      It sounds very much as though you have brocken your finger.  You had better go to a doctor or chemist.

      Good luck and Happy Easter.
