Woke up with pain in right index finger most proximal knuckle. no injury. hurts to bend finger,warmth and swelling but not much. hairline fx? 2 days.

Get checked: In an otherwise healthy 20 year old, infection of the joint is high on the probability list. Was there a trauma? Without injury, fx far less likely. Get this checked urgently as long term damage is possible. If you have fever/nausea/chills or if swelling/pain is worsening, might even consider ER. Good luck!
