MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Arthritis is a common cause of finger swelling, but other conditions-such as injuries, preeclampsia, and trauma-can also cause swelling, inflammation, and pain in the fingers and knuckles. Finger swelling can happen when inflammation or fluid accumulates in the tissues or joints of one or all of the fingers.

Detailed explanation-2: -While those with tendinitis often experience swelling, it is possible to stretch your tendon with little to no swelling. Rest, ice and compression can help treat a finger strain. Gentle strengthening exercises can especially help restore your weakened muscles and encourage healing in your finger.

Detailed explanation-3: -Apply an ice pack to decrease swelling. Be sure to wrap the pack in a clean cloth first to prevent cold injury to the skin. Over-the-counter pain medicines may help relieve discomfort. If pain becomes severe, with blood under the fingernail, call your provider.

Detailed explanation-4: -Achenbach’s syndrome is a rare and benign condition characterized by recurrent episodes of sudden pain, bruising and swelling of one or more fingers. It is a self-limiting condition and the diagnosis is essentially based on history and clinical examination.
