(Go to the doctor right away from now on, okay? It won't hurt anything if you do).
The arthritis is very minor, and not even in that finger. I didn't go to the doctor because it was Saturday afternoon so the ER was my only option...I have to pay 20% of an ER visit and I didn't think my finger was bad enough to do ring up, at minimum, a $700-$800 bill In retrospect I should have gone in Monday - but it wasn't hurting hardly at all by then even though it looked worse than now...

I've a pillow filled with seed corn that I use for a foot warmer in my bed. I think I will toss it in the microwave and get it all toasty - see if that helps my finger.
