Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Yesterday I woke up with my left hand in great pain. The knuckle of my pinky and ring finger are very swollen red and painful. I thought at first I slept with it in a award potion but this is the second day. The swollen area is very tight and still painful but I can now move my other finders slightly. I am not sure if this is from a bug bite or something else. Please help.

What Causes Severe Pain And Swelling In The Hand?
Hello, The symptoms seem to be related to arthritis. I recommend you to do some examinations such as : a complete blood level, rheumatoid factor level, and PCR level. Meanwhile, I suggest you use anti-inflammatory medication for the pain and swelling such as Ibuprofen. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
