Why a finger randomly started hurting?

Finger pain but no swelling?

• My middle finger just started hurting last night between the knuckle (by the palm) and where it bends at the other knuckle. It hurts most when I bend it down torwards my palm or grab something that involves me squeezing my finger inward. I haven't done anything that I know of that would of hurt it, but somethings wrong bc it hurts! It also hurts when I bend it torwards my ring finger. There is no swelling or bruising, so its really strange to me. What could be wrong and what can I do to help heal it?

• Answer:

  It could be rheumatoid arthritis. I sure do hope not. I started having the same problem. My doctor told me a few years back that I was getting it and it is just showing up. The pain is very severe. I can't bend my thumb. You should really go see a doctor to get it diagnosed.
