It is usually caused by trauma or other factors. For example, playing sports or being crushed by heavy objects can lead to serious injuries, possibly resulting in fractures. Arthritis is a common cause among elderly patients, and X-ray imaging typically shows narrowed joint spaces and hardened bones. Infection of the middle finger joint by bacteria or tuberculosis bacilli may also cause pain in the joint. Generally, appropriate massage can be applied, along with topical medications to reduce swelling and relieve pain.
