I have had a callous on my right index and middle finger, the joint closest to the tip, in which i use nail clippers to remove the dead skin bout once a week or more but never to were i feel pain. My ? is why is it that i get joint knuckle pain and swelling associated with the calloused area?
Hello, As due to the callus at the tip of the finger, the tendons may be tight enough to change the biomechanics of the tendons and this might lead to knuckle pain. Doing hot water fermentation and simple passive assisted mobilization will help reduce the pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
