LaToya Jackson has been released from hospital and sent to a hand specialist after suffering ''unbearable pain'' when she woke up with a swollen index finger.

LaToya Jackson was hospitalised after suffering "unbearable pain" following a manicure.

The 55-year-old star visited Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Hospital after waking to a swollen finger and a burning sensation in her hand yesterday (31.08.11), but was later discharged.

She tweeted: "At Cedars-Sinai Hospital N BH. Woke up in unbearable pain! Index finger on my left hand is completely swollen & on fire!

"Had my nails done, I wonder if that has anything to do with it? I'm not 1 to go 2 the hospital 4 anything but this pain is so excruciating!

"It's my right hand not left! Sorry! I'm in so much pain I don't know my right from my left! (sic)"
