Title: Index finger knuckle pain
Post by: old cheese on February 25, 2020, 07:02:56 am

I might be being a little bit too early with a worry here as I have just returned from a Font trip but the pain is so specific in both hands it seems unusual.

Basically both of my index finger knuckles are very painful if I flex them. They seem quite tender too if I apply pressure in the gap between the fingers.

I wondered if anyone had any similar issues and how to treat?

I should probably add that there is no associated swelling or indeed any other external indicators of injury

Octalphaitis?

Octalphalitis? Are you taking the p**s? I even got halfway through googling it before the penny dropped
