Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
yesterday on my left hand my finger next to my thumb locked up and would not move. my hand swelled and it hurt so bad. after about five minutes my finger was able to me but i was still in some pain. i took ibrofen. this is the second time this is happend. I am 42.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to tendonitis which is an inflammation of the tendon in the finger. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application. I recommend using a splint to maintain the finger immobilized.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi General &Family Physician
