Help!

Ive been playing guitar for about three years now and every time i play I get this bad pain in the knuckle of my index finger on my fretting hand (my left). It sometimes hurts to bend even when I'm not playing. I was just wondering if this happens to anybody else...

you may want to have a professional doctor/physician look at it. I don't think that is a good sign, you could have some tendon problems or something(though I'm not a doctor so don't quote me on that)

You crack your knuckles a lot?

could be a repetitive stress injury, hard to say.

agreed with case211
i've broke the bone that holds the pinky finger befor 7 weeks now i can't move my finger like i used to its so hard and pain full so i think u better go c a doctor just to be shor.

Ya I think its a repetitive stress thing because I injured it in July during football conditioning, and it still hurts.Plus Ive stopped cracking my knuckles for the most part. Ill make sure that I get a doctor to look at it.
Thanks
