How do you know if you've dislocated a knuckle?

Question:

I haven't hit anyone or anything that I know of, but its really tender and looks sunken. There's no discoloration and its felt this way most of the day. Its the ring finger right at the base the first knucle.

Answers:
It's possible that you just bashed it in your sleep. Your nightstand can be deadly if ya let it..lol . Seriously, more than likely you strained that finger and it's letting you know. If you have any swelling, discoloration, rash or even a bite you dint notice before, you may want to have a doc check it out. Mosy likely, he'll put a splint on it to keep it from moving to much so it can recover. Hope it feels better soon.
