Finger tendonitis is an inflammation that occurs on the tendons that join the finger muscles to the bones. The condition is characterized by irritation and swelling of the tendons. The symptoms include not being able to bend a finger joint and pain when you bend it.

There may also be some mild swelling on the first joint after the fingertip. Finger tendonitis can be treated through natural means. This involves icing the affected place and then splintering it. Some light massage can also help treat finger tendonitis. Resting the affected joint for about three weeks is also a good remedy.
