I can't bend my small finger

2 days ago, I woke up with a sore finger-my pinky. It is swollen. I cannot bend it. My four other fingers are okay, but my pinky nope. Am 41 and this is the first time that I've encountered this. I took b12. And somehow the pain is less excruciating now. I can bend my finger now, just a bit but not totally. I prayed a lot last night because it is really hard to move or work with your aching pinky. And such really helped along with the b12 Have you encountered this?

I jammed my finger while trying to catch a pass in a football pick up game. It was sore for a week and I couldn't bend it as well. After getting healed, it wasn't as good as it was before.

Is it like an arthritic condition?

@Janet357 Actually, the arthritic condition starts at the age of 20.

Surely you hurt your finger and this is why you cannot bend it.

@Janet357 It could be. I found a bruise on my wrist and I cannot imagine what happened.

I think you probably hurt it somehow and didn't even remember doing it. Hope it gets better quickly.

They said it was gout but why so fast? Why so instant? Hoping so too.

It must be an insect bite that caused it. I know a bee sting can have it swollen and hard to bend. But I am not sure about it of course. It is best that you consult that with a doctor if it worsens over time.

There is no trace of bite. What puzzled me how come I just woke up with this thing? It happened overnight.

@Janet357 I just don't know but I had experienced like it but it was an insect bite that made my finger to swell like that. Better ask a doctor to confirm what really happened they might just have the answers and medication for it.

I have jammed one of my fingers before and it swelled up and I couldn't bend it for about a week. I was trying to catch a baseball and it hit my finger straight on, forcing my finger into the joint at my hand. I was lucky the baseball didn't break my finger.

@Janet357 Your poor hubby. You should get an electric massager and use that on his legs.

Try looking up trigger finger. Also try soaking it in hot/warm water.
