A member asked:
I suddenly have pain in my middle finger. i have not hit or knocked it. it is slightly tender to touch but very painful to bend. i cannot bend it all the way as it feels tight and very painful. what could be causing this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Without direct trauma to the finger, holding an item which may slip from your grasp, causing a sudden lunge to reestablish grip, may twist or overextend a finger, causing a sprain to the ligaments holding the segments of the three parts of the finger in line. This results in swelling of the ligaments, with consequent difficulty in bending the digit w/o pain and failure to completely flex it.
