Get a check up: You are having tendinitis (trigger finger) or a gouty arthritis. Please get a thorough exam by your doctor to get the correct diagnosis and discuss the treatment options. Until then, you can try otc Motrin to alleviate the pain. Good luck !

Arthropod?: Have you been bitten by a bug? Have you touched anything which might be toxic and to which you might react? If this turns red, hot, remains tender or increases in size or changes begin to involve any other part of the hand go to an er and see a docror asap. Otherwise, relax and think about things that may have caused this.

Should I have my finger x-rayed? I don't know if i jammed, sprained or broke my index finger. I assume i didn't break it because i can bend it at the second joint at a 90 degree angle, but with slight pain, i'm assuming the best idea is to ice and tape it
