It is possible you have Trigger finger or development of Ganglion cyst. Apply cold compress. Take pain killer for pain if present. Mild finger extension and stretching exercises will benefit. Show to your Orthopaedic surgeon and get necessary investigation like ultrasound or MRI as required by your Doctor and treatment according to the cause.
