What Is The Treatment For Finger Pain And Painful Lump?
Hi I have pain in my middle finger where it joins to my hand and when I press it I can feel a hard lump but it is hindering me when I have to put pressure on it for instance when I have to lift things or hold things it hurts and also when I bend my fingers to make a fist.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
From your description , pain and swelling over your finger seems to be inflammatory in nature. It could be trigger finger.
I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
