[|Human|] My right index finger has been swollen for a last 3 month now. the knuckle is painful to the touch, but i m not able to bend it. Any ideas what it could be?? i also had a X ray but nothing came out of that. I went to a Bone specialist he recommended me to take IBUPROFEN thrice a day for 2 months. Is it the feasible option?
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case. You can take broken for pain relief but I think you should reach at some diagnosis also. I mean you should not what is the cause of this, and then you can treat the root cause.  Most probably it is tenosynovitis or trigger finger. A good orthopedic surgeon can examine this and confirm the diagnosis. I hope then you can take treatment in form of steroid injection. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
