Need more info: If you can flex it, it is not a trigger finger, which usually are not swollen. If itchy or tingly but has little tenderness, and has been present days, not weeks, and swelled up within day, it likely is non-hereditary angioedema, which may be triggered by something you have become sensitized to. Relief is quick with an oral steroid like prednisone, and a strong antihistamine like Benadryl.
