So about 5 months ago I noticed my pinky finger joint has been tender, its the same pain as one would get from bruising their knuckles. I had a little nub begin to grow, maybe not even grow much, but appeared slowly on the back of my pinky joint. It hasn't gone away, doesnt really bother me much when I'm using my hand, I notice it, but its not bad. Though it hurts really bad when I knick it on something. I thought maybe I'm getting arthritis at the age of 28, i have used my hands alot my whole life. Then today at work I hit it pretty good putting a saw on the shelf, it swelled up really easy, but continued my day. Later I noticed all three joints on that finger were bruised, then hours later, my whole pinky is red and swollen. It's not in anymore pain than it had been in the previous months. And now, it's taking on a bruising color, the tip goes numb from time to time with inactivity. Has anyone ever come across This? I can't find anything even close. info would be awesome. if it's still like this tomorrow I'm going to the doctor. I would really love an answer if anyone had this before and would deeply, truly appreciate it. thanks.
