For the past few weeks every day I wake up
I have a sore or swollen index finger on
my left had. I am wondering what is
causing this. It is very painfull. It
feels like it is broken, even though it is
not. Throughout the day the soreness and
stiffness disappears. What do you think
is happening or causing my sore
finger?
It is hard to tell without examination but
you might have an inflammation of the
finger joints or inflammation of the
tendons’ synovial coverings. You may
want to consult your primary health
provider.
