Hello,
It could be due to conditions like trigger finger or contusion.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist it is better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
In that case, an MRI scan will be helpful for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
