Good luck and peace!

Uh, have her keep it straight (tape a pencil to it or such) for 2 weeks. Put ice on it to help the swelling go down.

If it's healing crooked, though, then she needs to see a doctor.

Arthritis?

The fact that the finger is deforming and has a bump on it - it sounds like rheumatoid arthritis. If only one finger is deformed then it's likely in earlier stages. Unfortunately you won't be able to much for it without going to a doctor.

This also gives a link to a quiz you can do to see if it's really rheumatoid arthritis.

Good luck.

The local library should have a copy of The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. If not it is only $20.00 there is a section on arms and hands. The book deals with muscles, pain and referred pain and teaches you what to do.

She has to go see a doctor. Could be RA or any other form of arthritis. My fingers are growing like a twig (growing to the left, right, bending at the joint) and it is so very painful!!

She really needs to see someone...

arthritis would be my guess. the crippling kind. no cure yet. doctors just treat the pain. there are natural treatments for arthritis. honey is just one of them--a tablespoon a day. not sure if this will help with deformity already there. burdock root and alfalfa are good for arthritis. good luck.

tell your mom to drink plenty of water.
