Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain and swelling in finger . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like arthritis , osteoarthritis , rheumatoid arthritis , gout , psoriasis or bone fracture . In your case there is probable chances of joint dislocation . I would suggest you to apply ice pack for first 48 hours and then apply warm compresses and consult orthopedic surgeon for correction . Doctor may order X-ray to confirm the diagnosis along with physical examination . Doctor may reduce the joint and correct the condition and give plaster along with splint in severe damage .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
