Pain in middle finger knuckle for 3 months, x-ray shows nothing?

Posted , 4 users are following.

I have stiffness and pain on right side of middle finger knuckle. Little bump sticking out of it too, but xray is clear. Don't have full movement and painful when doing certain tasks like using scissors, making fist.  Would an MRI give more insight or should I just try icing it or splint?  Thanks for any feedback!!

    This sounds somewhat similar to an issue I'm having. My problem is on the knuckle in the hand, not the finger. I have a lump on the knuckle that has not responded to either antibiotics or prescription strength anti-inflammatories. X-ray shows no abnormalities.
