But where exactly on your hand does it hurt? Any areas that are tender to press on?
when I put my index finger on the top of my third knuckle and my thumb right underneath it..just a small amount of pressure and it's hurting..I don't get pain anywhere on my finger except where it attaches to the joint on my hand...like I said there's a red spot on each side right near the affected area, and that seems to be the sweet spot..
