Okay, so I went to roll up my window and it hurt when I grabbed the handle, and it hurt to grab the steering wheel as well. Today it doesn't hurt to grab things so intense, there is a faint pain, however. The pain is on my left hand where my index finger attaches to the palm. On that joint my bone is "pokey" (for the lack of a better word). The rest of my fingers (and my friends) do not have that, and I don't recall hurting it prior to grabbing the window handle in my car. Any ideas?

By pokey I mean the bone sticks up right on the joint. It's the bone that's the problem, not a muscle or the finger itself. And I don't know why it's randomly bumpy.

I don't know what you mean by a "pokey" finger. Does it kind of lock up and then release rapidly like springing up? If so, you have what is called a "trigger finger". It has to do with the tendon. I had the same thing in my thumb and it was corrected with minor surgery. You may have just twisted or strained it. If it doesn't go away in a few days, I'd see a doctor if I were you.

It could be a tendon. If its not bettter in few days or if the pain gets worse-intoerable=go to your doctor. You may have hurt it somehow and just didn't realize it at the time. You know like how you exercise and you feel great but the next day oooowwwiiiee good luck when you figure it out let us know The doctor may need to inject it with cortisone to give you relief
