What Causes Recurring Pain, Swelling And Redness In Fingers?
Hello doctor. Hope you are doing good. I am 27 year old woman. for 10+ years, i have occasionally woken up with pain at the last finger digits. Its always one finger at a time. the digit becomes slightly swollen, reddish, very painful and hot. it lasts for a day and goes away. There seems to be no pattern for the occurrence and i have never been able to find a cause. Today its on my left thumb. When i palpitate the digit, the pain seems to be slightly above the pain and it is more reddish at that spot.
