A member asked:
Woke up with swollen top knuckle on pinky. went to bed fine (no trauma prior to sleeping). what could have caused this? sleeping on it?

Probably: Sleeping on the finger could have caused the symptoms you experienced. It should be gone by now. If it does not go away in a few hours, it would warrant an examination. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
