What Causes Pain And Swelling In The Middle Finger?

After the last joint on my middle finger to the end it is swollen and hurts and is tender to the touch on one side. It does not feel warm. It has been this way since late Thursday. I don t recall injuring it. Nail bed doesn t look any different than the others as in not black or blue. No pus or seepage.
