Knuckle: You probably have a fracture. Get an xray. It is important to make sure the fracture is not displaced, because if so, it may not heal correctly and you may have permanent loss of function.

I was pulling on a tray that was stuck and felt a sharp pain in my hand. Now my ring and pinky fingers hurt at the base. The pain radiates into my wrist. I can extend and they feel a bit tight. However it hurts the most when I form a fist?
