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.
Dominant hand center knuckle is puffy and stings. Is painful when touched. No open wound. Began a year ago. Have taken naproxin for a month with little change. Feels warm to the touch in the center. Any ideas of what to do next? Have been tested for gout and that was ruled out. Also, hand has been x-rayed and arthritis has been ruled out as well.
