Hand Injury. Pain In Index Finger, No Pain When Bending Knuckle
This morning I accidentaly closed a door on my hand right below the last knuckle of my index finger (knuckle closest to the thumb). I can move all my fingers fine but when my index finger is bent I can't put any pressure on the end without a significant amount of pain. There is no pain when my hand is idle. Only when trying to do tasks that involve my index finger (think typing on a keyboard). It is a sharp pain and is only on the inside of the hand right below the knuckle. It does not hurt to bend the knuckle.

It looks like ligament injury to your metacarpal bone , or fracture
X ray will help in diagnosis and management
take rest , hot or cold fomentation
avoid lifting weights
You need brace to support hand
