Clicking And Pain In My Left Ring Finger. NOT Trigger Finger?
I am 18 and back in May I guess I "jammed" my finger. I say I guess because I really don't know WHAT exactly happened. My two dogs got into a little fit and when I was separating the two of them I don't know what I did, but I really messed up my finger. After it all happened my hand hurt REALLY REALLY bad. It also started swelling pretty much immediately. I waited a couple days and then went to the ER because I figured maybe I dislocated my finger or something. They did an X-ray and came back and said there was nothing wrong, and probably a sprain so they sent me home with an ace bandage and some ibuprofen. Fast forward to now.
The swelling in my hand has gone away after about two months of not moving it a lot and keeping it wrapped up. But each time I completely straighten (like I am stretching my hand) out, my ring finger makes a clicking noise and kind of pops up. Moving it certain ways, making a fist, putting pressure, pulling, or grasping something wrong hurts extremely bad. I can feel it move down at the base of my finger (like my last knuckle). It has caused a problem for me because it hurts with most normal things that I do. Even typing this is irritating.
So I finally went to an orthopedic and he looked at my hand and X-rays and said he isn't sure what it is and he recommends me to see a hand surgeon.
I did. I drove almost 2 hours each way to see this doctor and here's what happened in a span of 3 different visits.
He suspected trigger finger even though he said certain symptoms were odd. He gave me a cortisone injection into my left ring finger and OMG that was painful. But to be honest that pain from the swelling of the injection was about as bad as my hand felt right after it happened. But sadly that didn't help. So my doctor sent me to get an MRI. With the results of the MRI, he told me that he saw swelling in my finger and that he thinks is in the sheath but said he doesn't know what is causing that. So he told me he was stumped and should see someone who is more of a specialist and gave me a few names. None of them take my insurance.
So I decided to put all of my info out here and see if someone has had something similar happen or knows what might be going on with my finger.
I will also post below the "findings" on my MRI report.
"There is a focus of marrow edema involving the dorsal aspect at the base of proximal phalanx fourth digit and adjacent dorsal aspect head of fourth metacarpal with a focal small cortical invagination of the metacarpal which may be post traumatic in etiology from previous impaction. No discrete fracture or dislocation is appreciated at the fourth digit IP joints pr MCP joint. The flexor and extensor mechanisms and tendons appear intact. No significant sized joint effusions. No significant degenerative or arthritic bony changes are appreciated. Visualized musculature has normal signal. Subcutaneous tissues are intact."
Arthritis :: 1st Knuckle On Index Finger Is Pretty Swollen / Stiff And Fairly Painful
I have had this for over a week, and it seems to be getting worse. I am 33 and in very good health.
The 1st knuckle on my index finger is pretty swollen, stiff and has a fair amount of pain when I bend or touch it. I have already been to urgent care, and was told it was not infected due to no heat or redness. I was given Ibuprofen and a splint, told to follow up tomorrow if no improvement. They sugest bloodwork to test for uric acid or arthritis. he said possibly gout, but that is usually more painful. I do eat a high red meat diet, with higher purine foods- ie aspargus and beans.
I do not recall injuring it enough to cause anything like this. i do crick my knuckles- old habit I am slowly breaking- but that has never given me problems either. I have started cold compress today and occasional war, Ill see what that does.

View 2 RepliesHard Knot In Joint Of Finger After Falling
About two days ago I had a pretty hard fall where I caught myself with my hands. My hands were completely fine with the exception of my middle finger. The tip felt very sensitive almost like it was raw. Even the most gentle touch bothered it. I thought maybe there was a splinter in it, but no. The skin wasn't broken. Today the fingertip pain is gone, but is replaced by a tender bump that is in the dead center of the top joint right beneath my finger tip. It is very faintly blue also where the knot it. Never experienced this before. Anyone have an idea what it is?

View 1 RepliesUndiagnosed :: Pain In My Little Finger Whenever I Press Down On Something
The pain is only in my left little finger, and there is no change in appearance. The pain occurs when i do things such as press down on a guitar string, or hold the control key. The pain is only in the tip of my little finger, and goes away immediately after i release, and it seems like it may be some sort of bone bruise, as the area of sensitivity which causes the pain is relatively small. What is it and how can i get rid of it?
View 1 RepliesSlight Swelling And Pain In Hand After Breaking Finger
I recently broke my left ring finger, 4 months ago, now slightly below my index finger is a small lump that looks like it is my tendons. This lumps starts a raised line in the center of my hand, proceeds up by my index finger as well as slightly splitting off towards my middle finger. I also have light pain in my hand, especially after I do something with it. Also my finger still feels very strange to move and bring down to my palm. It also is sometimes slightly stiff. The line/lump is what I would describe to be my bone or tendons.
View 1 RepliesCarpal Tunnel Syndrome :: Numbness + Pain In Ring Finger?
I'm 25, and have recently developed symptoms (last 2-3 months). I had some mild sore wrists before but over the last few month it progressed to numbness in both hands. I did some physiotherapy and stretching and it did actually improve a bit but then my left ring finger began to develop pain and severe numbness, enough to stop me from typing with my left hand. I ice it several times a day which is keeping it at bay but doesn't do anything for the numbness.
Any comments or advice? I'm on a 1 month wait for an EMG specialist. The only thing that makes the numbness better is bending my wrist into a flexed position and holding it there for a few seconds.
HIV Prevention :: Sore Throat With Finger Joints Pain And Oral Thrush
I had protected sex few weeks ago with a prostitute, but I don't know if the condom broke or not (I think not). 2~3 weeks later I had a mild soar throat (no fever, sneezing, running nose or headache only cough). few days ago, I noticed my tongue is covered in a white creamy thing. Also my fingers joints aches a little bit (few seconds and then it goes away. The feeling is just like when you press on your joints, or when you feel so cold) I'm really worried that i could've been infected with HIV
- how bad should an HIV soar throat be?
- how long does it take for thrush to start forming on the tongue after having the intercourse?
- how bad HIV muscle/joints pain should be and for how long does it take for a person to start feeling pain after having the intercourse?
HIV Through Massage (cut On The Finger)
I went out last night to a bar. I got a massage from one of the prostitutes in the bar. I had my t-shirt on and massaged my back and neck. After that she went to sit down opposite me and I than noticed a cut with dry blood on her right ring finger. I am a bit concerned that she might have infected me if she had hiv as the massage was hard and rough. My skin was a bit irritated this morning due to the massage. I have got a few pimples in the neck and am really worried that I might of gotten hiv through this message. I checked the t-shirt this morning and could not see any blood stains on it. Do I need testing for this incident and should I be worried? Thanks in advance!!

I have hand and finger cramping whenever I try to bend my left middle finger. The knuckle at the base of that finger is very red. I do have ulnar compression at the left elbow and weakness of the left little finger as a result. But I have not had this problem before. Any ideas on relieving the cramping until I can see a doctor? Is neurontin likely to help? Yesterday I had no problem with this finger.
View 3 RepliesTeen Pregnancy :: Finger With Dry Precum
SCENARIO :
She started giving me a hand job but i did not ***. I know in myself i did not *** because i did not felt it come out. So she touched a little bit of my precum
Then she removed her hand in my penis and started tickling me for like 5-7 mins. So the precum was wiped on my clothes, my hair, and pants. Then i started giving her oral sex, then 5 mins later she checked if she is wet using her fingers (the fingers with DRY PRECUM)
So then, after doing it, i decided to take her home. It took about 1 HOUR so the precum is probably dead.
As soon as she got home, she took a bath and of course she handed shampoo, conditioner, soap, and water.
After that, she said she fingered herself because she still has this "horny feeling."
As i do research and sex ed stuff, i knew that if the man didn't ejaculate 72 hours before sexual *****, you are safe for the sperm is not that much in your precum.
I am not ejaculating as always because i am too busy working

HIV Prevention :: Blood On Hand And Under Finger Nail
a while ago my friend cut his hand and some of his blood got onto my hand and under my fingernail. I noticed dried blood under my fingernail the next morning.
1. would the virus be dead before it touched my hand ?
2. can the virus get through under the finger nail ?
3. does dry skin and paper cuts allow entry into the bloodstream?
4. is this a no risk situation?
5. no need to test? .
i just need clarification as I'm not 100% sure.
HIV Prevention :: Finger Or Hand Touching Condom
I was very scare and worried about my recent expose. during the April 14, i was visit the CSW. there are not any sexual contact, handjob and fingering or body rub happen in the expose. what i did is i ask for the CSW masturbate herself then i ask for passing me a condom as i would like to fingering her with protection. the concern part is that the CSW may have some vaginal fluids when she open the cover of condom for me then i got touch the condom and put my right hand finger into the condom but the end i dint fingering her as my nail is too sharp and i suddenly don't want to do that. but i got watch my hand and check again and again, i could not find any significant cut or fresh bleeding on my two hand or fingers. all my memory can recall is i got ask her to use another hand to pass me the condom.
1. may i know the risk of hiv and std from the incident?
2. can the hiv risk occur if the vaginal fluids contain of the surface of condom?
3. can the hiv risk occur from object? is the condom consider an object?
4. should i go for test?
