unusual? finger tweak. 17-Apr-2012 At 1:01:49 PM EvDog

I had a similar problem once. Scar tissue which had formed due to an earlier pulley tendon tear had glued various other surrounding tissues together, and to my repaired pulley. This all felt fine for months until I pulled a small crimp, felt pain and ended up with a swollen finger that was obviously bruised and painful to the touch (on the back/nail side behind my knuckle), but which oddly felt fine when I cranked. My pulley was in fact fine but the scar tissue had torn and in doing so injured other tissues it had attached itself to. I ended up with a noticeable lump of scar tissue which feels like gristle when pressed hard, at the back of my knuckle. If you have never injured the finger before this is unlikely to be the problem, if you have then perhaps it is. You can get scar tissue partially massaged out or ultra sounded to break it up. Both options are painful but it might prevent a repeat.
