Have you had an xray for this yet?  If not, I would definately recommend you get one.  It sounds like you have have done more than jam your finger.  There are a few different things that could be triggering your knuckle to swell months after the initial injury.  The most common would be a fracture.  There are other possibilities as well.  Does the finger continue to swell bigger or has it leveled out?  You may have a fragment floating around there irritating everything.  I would suggest you definately at least have it checked out, there is a possibility the swelling will go down, but do you really wanna risk the ring not fitting on your wedding day?  Make an appt with your family dr and KNOW what is going on.  Hope your finger feels better and Congratulations on the upcoming wedding!

I had pain in my wrist and it was resolved by getting a gel mouse pad and one for my keyboard.  It worked like a charm for me.\n\nWhen it gives me problems now (very very occaionally if I'm doing a great deal of typing or clicking) I just stretch the tendons and muscles every once in a while.\n\nAlso, learn all of the short cut keys and use your mouse as little as possible. These are the most common.\n\nESC = Close Dialog\nALT-F4 = Close Window\nALT-TAB = Switch Applications\nCTRL-TAB = Switch Windows within an Application\nCTRL-F = Find\nCTRL-H = Find and Replace (or CTRL-R)\nCTRL-S = Save\nCTRL-O = Open\nCTRL-N = New\nCTRL-C = Copy\nCTRL-X = Cut\nCTRY-V = Paste\nCTRL-Z = Undo\nCTRL-Y = Redo\nWindows-E = Explorer\nWindows-D = Show Desktop

ok first are you peeing blood?second did they give you anti-biotics to prevent infection? when i had mine put in they gave me anti-biotics to prevent infection and they also set me up with a follow up appointment 3-4 weeks later.some of what your saying does sound normal.i bleed for a few days after i had mine put in and i had cramping.from my experience i would say dont worry unless if you are in so much pain you cant take it.the thing is there is something new in your body and it will take some time for your body to adjust it.i had mine done in june of this year and im just starting to get used to it.so give it some time and make a follow up appointment.

You should see a doctor to get a check up... I know people who have had that happen and it was a pinched nerve or a carpel tunnel problem.. don't worry but as with any problem that is new.. it needs a doctor to diagnose ... Good Luck.. :)

I had the rip and snip and to be honest its not that bad. As far as the operation goes the most painful bit is the jabs. They are a bit spicy it has to be said! Apart from that its a doddle.\n 2 years on and the op has been a success. Every once in a while though i do feel as though Ive been kicked in the bollox. But this pain only seems to last about  5 mins. Its the best form of contraception. All us blokes hate condoms , its like sucking a toffee with the wrapper on. Honestly though mate you will be fine . I was back at work the next day.

Could be a circulation problem. I used to get it in my arms when I was driving for a long time, and it eventually turned to pain. That was a few years a ago. Turns out now I have fibro myalgia which is phantom pains all over my body (its really fun...) You could have carpel tunnel, or anything else. Make a physical appointment, and tell your Dr. He/she may want to do blood work just to check up on it.

they have that hemoglobin test (every three months for me) requested by the physician, that is the accurate results for testing the glucose in the body.\n\nbut any test relates to diabetics, the blood is required no matter what. it will be less pain depends on the lancing device and lancets to prick the skin. if the gluco meter required small amount of blood, you need to adjust the lancing device accordingly. some people have a thin skin layer so you need to to use the lower number, but if it is thick layer, it need to be adjusted to the higher number. that is where the pain occurs..\n\nthere are multiple brand, precision extra by medisense, freestyle by therma-sense, those are the two we have in the house. my mom carry the one touch ultra..

First of all don't believe what that first doc said. My grandma had pain and it ended up being cancer. I am not trying to worry you, but keep up on having that checked out. Second of all i get pains as well. however its usually because its when my period comes. One more thing. If you ever get more lumps, Always have them checked out. My mom had a lump in her neck. Docs told her not to worry. 10 years later the thing grows so big that they think that she had cancer. Thank God it was not, but they had to remove it and had to do a nerve graft. She was unable to move her right arm. ALWAYS get a second opinion. Wish you well.

I had it inserted in the bottom of my heel for heel spurs.  While it was not the most comfortable thing I have ever experienced, neither was it anything close to the worst.  Walking was difficult for two days afterwards.  However, the discomfort was well worth it.  Before the injection I was in almost constant pain from the spurs, excruciating first thing in the morning especially.  Today I am still totally pain free - 5 years later!!  It is a definite example of very short term pain for very long term gain!  Be brave, girl!  It will be over before you know it, and the benefits should be well worth it.

I know exactly what you mean!!!......I play NASCAR Thunder 03 for a long time and my blister on my thumb hurt so bad....I just had to stop playing it! It sucked to becaus eI was so addicted to winning it I didn't want to stop.....But if you just ween yourself off the game...let yourself heal...then go back to it later you should be fine. I can imagine that you could do some serious damage to your wrist if you work it for that long without resting it

I had a constant numbness up both my arms last year and pain in my fingers for months. I went to a practioner who treats the person as a whole and he manipulated the top of my thigh and Ive never had the numbness since. Sounds dodgy but Ive been  going to this guy since I was pregnant and he knows what hes about.  I would look under osteopath or holistic treatments in the phone book. Good luck.

It depends on where on your arm you are taking it.  You may just be pressing to hard if you test on your wrist.  Try the inside of your elbow, this is the same artery used to test blood pressure.  Hope this helps.

First of all,congratulations on a good blood test result.\nYou have normal cell counts for red and white blood cells and platelets.\nYour ESR(erythrocyte sedimentation rate) is also normal-4mm in the 1st hour(average is between1-10mm).\nYour wrist pain is due to soft tissue causes since you say the x-rays are normal.\nSoft tissue causes include:\nTenosynovitis\nCarpal tunnel syndrome\nNerve injury(median)\nGanglion\nSince your doctors couldn't detect any swelling,the last option is ruled out.Since you can still type this question,the middle 2 are also ruled out.This leaves Tenosynovitis.\nIt is an inflammation of the tendon sheath of your wrist-it gets worse with rotating your wrist,right?\nTake anti-inflammatories like diclofenac 50mg twice a day-on a full stomach please-and no strenuous activity with your hands,especially any activity that involves repetitive wrist movements  like  prolonged writing,sewing,DIY,hand washing etc.\nSymptoms will subside with these measures in 2-3 weeks.

I have notoriously deep and small veins. Many times, a nurse can't find one on the first, second, and even third try. When they think they have one, it jumps or nothing happens. They think they didn't have one to begin with, but then it bleeds, meaning they DID have it. On a usual basis, I will be stuck around ten times before they get anything. Once I had to have an MRI with contrast and five people where trying to find a vein in both arms. They find one and try to administer the contrast, it backed-up and exploded the tube. The head of the facility gave up on me. Finally got a little in through my shoulder. \nI have a thyroid condition, so I have to have regular blood tests, and when the nurses at my physician's office see me coming, they run and hide. Once I had clots in both arms, and to get one small vial of blood took 45 minutes AFTER spending an hour and a half locating a vein! I am a phlalbotomist's WORST nightmare! I have humbled the most confident and cocky of them all. But I have a very high pain tolerence so I don't even flinch when they prick me. Up side to my problem, you got to cut really deep to make me bleed. But when it could come down that they need a vein to save my life. . . well. . . hmmmmm.

If it is an ache pain and can be pinpointed exactly where vs. general...it could be just a tendon pain.  I would need to know more...what is the pain like?  How long ago start? What were you doing? Does it always hurt?  Hurt only when you move?  Does it wake you up at night?  How old are you...arthritis?

Tried going to your doctor? Sounds like a liver problem. I'm an RN and now I also practice Reiki. Might help if you want have natural therapy. Sometimes this type of pain can be due to accumulated misqualified/negative energies, i.e. long-term anger, etc.\n\nI hope I don't sound like I'm lecturing you. From a medical point of view, if all your tests are normal, then natural therapies are quite supportive, most of the time effective.\n\nGood luck.
