hang nail now whole finger swollen, tip is red, warm and throbbing x5 days. very painful. tip looks clubbed n getting numb. how to treat @home? or er?

Question

I have a very red swollen finger and its yellow around the nail with throbbing pain, will I need to see a doctor or wull it fix its self?

Answer 1

Finger swollen: Time to go to er, if that is where you get medical treatment. You have an infection in the finger and you need treatment.

Answer 2

Possibly: They are of two types. The leiomyoma occurs in the skin or gut but the common form is the uterine fibroid. Rhabdomyomas are rare tumors of muscles, they occur in childhood and often become malignant assuming this is a uterine fibroid, if it were in the proper anatomic location it could cause vascular compromise, nerve compression, pelvic cramping or even a referred pain pattern.

Answer 3

Pain: Not sure if u had head trauma before, headaches or what medications you take. Best to consult a neurologist for workup.

Answer 4

May be normal but: You need to get checked by your doctor. There are lots of possible causes for galactorrhea (leaving milky fluid) and most are easy to deal with. Bottom line - go get a checkup! good luck.

Answer 5

Blisters under: Toenails are quite common in sports participants. If you're able to drain it, apply a topical antibiotic and wrap it in a band aid, that's about the best you can do short term. You might want to check on the size of the soccer boots. If too small, they can be making things worse. Also, i hope the coach/trainer has them wearing running shoes for the pure running workouts.

Answer 6

See your Podiatrist: Her overuse plus ill fitting soccer shoes are the most likely cause. I would make an appointment with a podiatrist he or she can evaluate her bio mechanics and help her.

Answer 7

Try: Wearing 2 pair of socks. The blister under the nail should be treated first though. With a sterile instrument lance it and apply a bandaid. If you feel uncomfortable doing the procedure, see a podiatrist.

Answer 8

Maybe...: We suggest rest, ice, elevation, compression and NSAID of choice. You don't necessarily have to stop, but you may need to back off some. If it worsens, you may have to stop and get it checked out.

Answer 9

Not neccesarily: If the pain is sharp or persistant, than i would stop and seek medical relief when you have the time. If the pain is mild, check your shoes as they may be worn out, or purchase a stabilizing brace to help as you run.

Answer 10

No: Change shoes if it persists see a podiatrist.

Answer 11

Never continue: Running when you have pain you can cause damage. Try to assess what is causing the pain. Is it your sneaker? If you can't figure it out or the pain persists see a podiatrist or orthopedic foot ankle specialist.
