I am in so much pain and no, it's not what you think!

Starting yesterday afternoon, I began to feel a slight twinge of pain under my wedding rings. My diamond ring is sometimes a little tight, so I took it off and left my wedding band on. But then it began to feel very sore, so I removed the wedding band and felt around my finger. Just touching it hurt. I'm left handed, so I use this hand a lot. I use this hand for my mouse, although in the past I have been able to use my right hand, and I think I'm going to have to switch. Since yesterday, the pain has gotten worse. I don't know if I somehow injured it or if it's nerve damage or what's going on. I really hate being without my rings. I remember that Mom had to remove her wedding ring when arthritis hit her left hand and fingers, so I guess it could be that, too. I hope it's gone when I see my doctor later this month because if it still hurts by then, it will mean something is really happening to my hand. More than anything, I want to be able to put my rings back on at some point, but I'm going to give my finger a rest at least for the rest of the week and see what happens with the pain. Claudia
