A member asked:

My pinky finger is swollen and i can't move it...is it broken? if so how can i treat it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Check foods: Hidden food allergies (igg reactions) are often the culprit of isolated joint inflammations....A blood test will identify these. Also check other sources...I.E. Collagen vascular markers, for other issues.
