Q. What could cause discomfort in the finger joint after getting sprained?
Hello doctor,
I have recently sprained my little finger playing netball. A few weeks later, I sprained my ring finger while playing netball, and now I am experiencing discomfort in the joints where the fingers connect to the hand. The discomfort feels like bruising. Just wondering if it could be anything more than this. Is there a way I could strap the finger to protect it while playing netball? Or should I go and see a physiotherapist in person?
Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your concern. I feel the pain in your fingers is due to sprained ligaments, so do not worry. Keep icing your fingers frequently, once every two hours for 15 minutes. Taping it will definitely help you to heal that area faster. Mild kneading over your forearm will help you relieve pain in your fingers. You can also take an anti-inflammatory medication.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
