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.

I had something similar - it turned out to be an allergic reaction.  Ultimately though, this could be many things.  I definitely recommend going to the doctor.

Believe it or not, even in med school, they tell you to urinate on the sting if nothing else is available. Vinegar will also help neutralize the sting.\n\nAfter that, Benedryl and applying ice to the area will help with the inflammation. \n\nI commend you for thinking of putting together a first aide kit for your outing. Most people wait until after something happens before they even think about putting together a kit!

If it hasn't cleared up already you need to go to the doctor. They will probably put you on some kind of anitbiotics. The infection could of came from the jewlery itself.

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!

Sounds like ring worm to me. Your MD will probably prescribe an anti-fungal cream

Hi there.....It might be an allergic reation to the nose-ring you are using. Our bodies act differantly to new and foreign objects. If you feel you have given it enough time to get use to it then you might want to go with a sergical steel or plastic. My sister has always had a problem with watches. If the back of the watch touches her skin the battery dies. Crazy but true. Just another fact proving we are all different. LOL. Hope this helps in some way. Good luck! Cowgirl

Neosporin may be one of the culprits.  It prevents oxygen from reaching the wound and leaves a sticky residue which can cause other problems.  Peroxide is also not the best choice for aftercare.  It's too strong and very drying.  If you have pain, try a salt water soak.  For cleaning, anti-bacterial soap works best and make sure you move the jewelry as you clean the piercing to keep that clean as well.\n\nI have several piercings and each one healed differently.  Hopefully with a consistent routine of cleaning the piercing twice a day with anti-bacterial soap for a week or two, you will notice a vast improvement.  A good piercing shop will also be willing to help you out and give you some tips.  Good luck!

Are you sure it's the knot causing numnbess?  I've never heard of a knot causing numbness.  Usually knots, or trigger points as they are called are caused by muiscle tightness, and this muscle tightness might be putting pressure on a nerve which is causing the numbness.  However, most likely the numbness is being caused by somehting going on in your neck, like a buldging disc.   My advice is to go see a good doctor or a physical therapist who can figure out what the true cause of your numbness is.

Since the nuvaring is an actual object it has a tendency to block the normal workings. Continue what you're doing as long as it's not to often. Also take the ring out every once in a while and clean stuff up it'll help things so they don't get to bad the next time you go swimming.
