hi,Just because it was a holiday i remember when my finger starting hurting which was st patty s day. It was sore the next day and it hasn t been the same since. It hurts to bend, painful, swollen etc. Now a month in a half later its bruised in a very specific spot with a small pea size bruise around the area of my knuckle. About 2-3 weeks ago prior to bruise i went to doc and they took an xray and checked to see if i had arthritis (i m 42 in good health ) they saw nothing but now the bruise and it still hurts. I m not a person that goes to the doctor for every little thing so for me to be asking is something for me. i just want to know should i be worried or it s nothing
