I'm dealing with a neck spasm and shoulder muscle pain for the past couple of days, and there's a slight swelling near the right side of my jaw.

If your fingers are bending on their own without pain, it could be due to Dupuytren's contracture or trigger finger. Before considering surgery, discuss your concerns with a doctor or specialist to determine the best course of treatment, as non-surgical options are often tried first.
