Swollen finger: Not sure how it happened or why just that finger. Could be some type of repetitive motion issue. Please seek out your personal physician for an evaluation. Could include xrays, nsaids, referral to physical therapy.

Hand surgeon: Assuming there is no recent Injury ,the symptoms are consistent with an impingement of a nerve at the wrist level. Swelling of the finger is not typical of this. A hand surgeon is best qualified to evaluate, advise and treat you. Testing may Involve an X-Ray and/or an emg study.
