If it's been that long and it hasn't gone away, it's probably infected.  You should go to the doctor to have them take a look.

Wrap a tissue/ paper towel/ whatever you have around your finger and apply hard pressure with 2 fingers. I don't just mean touch it, I mean squeeze it!\nIt should stop and clot, but it will most certainly sting if you have spicy foods, salt, lemon, etc. and may even start bleeding again if its aggravated, so try to avoid touching it or eating something irritating.

You were probably bitten by an insect or something as you slept. First of all, stop touching it. Use a cold compress or an ice pack to ameliorate the swelling. If the swelling doesn't go down and/or if there is any pain beyond 48 hours, you should see a doctor who will tell you what to put on it.

...the pain seems normal on account that you felt pain and displeasure while you were walking in the mall.  Hematomas or contusions (or "bumps" and "bruises") develop when blood and scared tissue coagulates under the epidermis (top skin). \n\nHere is how to treat it:\n"For contusions (bruises), treatment consists of initially applying ice or cold packs a few times a day, to produce vasoconstriction (a reduction in arterial blood flow) which helps to decrease hemorrhage (bleeding) and edema (swelling).\n\nIn general, the quicker you apply ice after the injury, the less bleeding will result.\n\nIf possible, elevate the bruised limb. Blood will leave the area of the wound and there may be less swelling. Resting the limb will also help to prevent further injury.\n\nIf the area is still painful after about 48 hours, apply gentle heat with warm towels, a hot water bottle, or a heating pad. The heat is applied for 20 minutes at a time to promote absorption and repair. Since heat causes swelling and increases tissue fluid, which may impair function, hot compresses may be followed by cold applications to minimize the secondary effects of heat.\n\nPressure in the form of an elastic adhesive bandage may be helpful to reduce hemorrhage and swelling. If infection should develop in the wound, the signs and symptoms might be increasingly severe pain, a fever of 101 degrees or more, swelling with surrounding redness, and pus. If any of these signs appear, your physician should be notified to make sure there are no additional problems."

If I were you, I would ask the blood bank for the name of their insurance carrier, and submit a claim.  And if they refuse to tell you, file a lawsuit against them.  Then they will refer it to their insurance carrier, and you will know who it is.  Seven months of pain is NOT an insignificant injury, nor is the loss of normal function in your thumb!

A touch of Melaleuca oil (tea tree) and the sore will stop hurting and start healing. Even if you feel it and do not see it yet it will stop it instantly.

Well you pushed the bones together. Normal you have a space between the bones and you jammed it pushed the bones together and that puts the pain and bruising on the finger. Sorry hope it gets better soon.

Please schedule an appointment to go to your doctor immediately. No one here, myself included, is qualified to give you an answer. I had a similar problem (in the armpit as well), and it turned out to be a cyst the size of a gumball. It was removed under local anesthetic. My arm was sore for a day or two, and then I was fine. However, I am not implying you have a cyst in your's as well. What I am suggesting is you make a doctor's appt. first thing tomorrow morning.

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!

well, you're definitely allergic to whatever this ant bit you with.  what you've described is a very typical allergic reaction.  it could have had some strange chemical in its mouth, or it was a different kind of ant than the others that bit you.  \n\nif benedryl isn't working for you, i don't know what else to suggest.  you'd have to see your doctor for any beefier antihistamines.  and since this is just a swollen wrist from an ant bite, it's not so big a deal.  the swelling should go down over the next few days.  if you still are swollen next week, then it's time to see the doctor, but for now, try not to worry about it.  maybe try benedryl again with a little bit of ice.  and take some ibuprofen.  they might help too.  you can take as many as 800 mg (which is usually 4 pills) and be just fine.

Any skin you press will make a indentation for a while, try drinking more Water. Just quit pressing to see if it makes a mark..

When I was in high school, a girl accidentally elbowed me very hard in one of my breasts (I was passing behind her as she was digging in her backpack, she wasn't aware). I've had two ultrasounds done on my breasts, and no damage or lump was found from the impact. In fact, when it happened, no temporary lump (or goose egg) appeared. But I wouldn't be surprised if a temporary swelling/knot does form. If a lump grows from the impact, simply go to your doctor. He/she will give you a breast exam and, if deemed necessary, will schedule you for a quick ultrasound or mamography. If the impact was extreme, then by all means bypass the doctor and go to the hospital. But don't worry :) And I don't think it would be anything permanant.

Nothing to worry about-its happened to me a few time.You probably did bruise/scratch yourself at work.Put some neosporin on it and unless it gets infected just forget about it.

You really need to see a Doctor. It could be a spider bite.\nIt the meantime if it's red and hot you can put a wet cloth\non it. You don't want to let something like that go.

You need to get it x-rayed. Sometimes, a jammed finger, or one that is sprained hurts worse than an actual break! Trust me, I've had many!

Honestly you should go to the Dr. \n\nThere are any number of reasons you get spots on your palms. \nJust a few are allergies, eczema and psoriasis though if you've been camping recently it could be lyme disease. \n\nYou mihgt not to party this week or drink too much. But you should also see a dermatologist.

Have you made sure the stinger is no longer in your skin.Make sure you have completely removed it.I found placing ice to the area helped the swelling and use anti-bacterial ointment to help aid the healing.It will begin to itch so be careful not to scratch it.Use calamine lotion to stop this.Good luck I lnow it had to hurt I've been stung before.
