Answers:
It is a form of arthritis; kinda sounds like gouty arthritis!. It commonly occurs in the toe joints but can occur in the finger joints!. When you go to the doctor then you will need a sed rate done to determine the amount of inflammation in your body!. You will also need an arthritis profile and a uric acid level to see if it is gouty arthritis!. You need to take some ibuprofen to try to take down some of the swelling!. Tylenol won't the arthritis or inflammation!. When you hit the joint that was already swollen from the arthritis you just caused it to be even more inflamed!. Hope you feel better soon and insist that your doctor runs those tests!. Sometimes doctors just like to blow you off!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like you've inflamed the joint!. Tylenol does little for inflamation, try something like Ibuprofen or aleve, which works better for inflamation!. Also you should be icing the area 20mins/three times per day!. If you have a decrease in movement, increase in pain or any circulation issues you should see your Dr!.
Anytime you aren't sure of the real problem it wouldn't hurt to see the Dr!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i have arthritis in my fingers, and one gets that way all the time, my doctor recommened naproxen,or naprasen!. i think you should see a doctor, because it's a sign of Lupus, and if you have this, as i do, you need to be on some other medications also!. it is a autoimmune disease, and what you describe sounds like mine!. good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
