I don't know if this is the same, but this happened at the same time as the mcp joints started swelling up.
My left index finger tip wouldn't straighten out. Dr. called it mallet finger. but also all down the top of the finger down to the web at the base of my thumb it itched, not on the skin but deep in the tissue. but if I put any pressure on it it burned and kept burning for a few minutes after I let go of it. now I have a lump on the top of the finger between the distal & proximal joint. it is hard and does not move at all. it is about the size of a tic tac. the skin on and around it now is numb but it still itches under the bump when I press on the proximal knuckle. ???
