Sore finger

I was sitting still earlier and got a sudden sharp pain in the top of a finger in between the first and second joints. It was pretty bad, an 8/10. It’s been sore since, hurts in the same place and bloody hurts if I press on the closest joint ( so don’t press on it, yes I know 😁). Hurts if I bend it along the top where the original pain was. There’s no swelling and no discolouration. I have a good pain tolerance but this is not good. I knocked it, more like tapped it, in the shower and I thought I’d be sick, and I accidentally pulled on it with the towel and again it was excruciating.

If it’s still bad in the morning I’ll call my gp or mooch into minor injuries but any ideas in the meantime? I’ve taken paracetamol but not too hopeful of sleep.

sounds like it could be this. I get it. Sudden severe pain between finger joints. I usually get a faint bruise.

Thank you @PlinkyPlonkyPurple another gift of the menopause fairy 🙄 I’m not sure it matches (no swelling or bruising) but it’s an interesting comparison.

I don’t get any swelling. If it is this then it will be much better if not pain free in the morning. I’ve had it for decades, well before menopause.

Morning, hardly slept and still very sore. Going to drop into minor injuries on the way to work and get it checked.

Just a sprain, nothing exciting.
