How Can A Painful Bony Bump On The Middle Finger Be Treated?
Question: I have a sore on the middle finger on my right hand. It can be very painful. My gp says it's arthritis. Now I have one starting to appear on the middle find of my left hand. What can I do to relive the pain. At times I put a finger guard on it as if I happen to bump it, it's more painful. Any suggestions?

Ice, medication

Hi there
Thanks for the query
The bump is called Heberden node. It's commonly seen in arthritis of the finger joint.
You can take Tablet Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day after meals and Tablet Rabeprazole twice a day before meals for 5 days. This will give relief. Apply cold packs to the affected region thrice a day for relief.
Avoid pressure on the affected regions.
I hope I have answered your query.
