My thumb knuckle bee swell for a month if not more?

Swelling: Sounds like you were stung by a bee in your knuckle. If you have had symptoms for a month you should be seen. If not tried already try some Ibuprofen or other NSAID.

Need to be seen....: There are many poss reasons for this. You could have an arthritis at this site, a local "bursitis", a tendon injury, an overuse or even a chronic infection of the joint which would be very concerning. The possibilties range from essentially nothing to very concerning. Need to see to help. See doc, HelthTap cons, UC eval, etc. with hand probs rec err on side of caution. Can heal or turn bad quick.
