Common Questions and Answers about Hand and finger pain cause

finger

Avatar n tn It appears that could be due to vitamin deficiency leading to neuropathy, injury to a nerve, pressure on spinal or peripheral nerves (neuropathy), lack of blood supply due to cholesterol plaque from atherosclerosis in the extremities, viral infection and use of certain medications. In addition, atherosclerosis can also cause pain, numbness, and tingling while walking and they can also reduce blood supply and lead to numbness.
Avatar n tn Is there any swelling in the finger? Sometimes a straw can get stuck between the layers of skin and cause a lot of pain. Hope this helps!
Avatar n tn Compression of the lumbar/sacral nerves will have no effect whatsoever on the hands. On the other hand Lumbar and Sacral compression, particularly L5, can indeed cause pain in the dorsum of the foot. The symptoms suggest systemic deterioration/spinal stenosis, often secondary to arthritis.
Avatar m tn t last long and comes and goes unpredictably. It seems the pain is also moving into my index finger. Any information any of you have or experiences related to this sort of thing would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar m tn I wake up several times per night, every night, with a painful hand and no blood in my hand and lower arms. However, I also type for upwards if 8-10 hours daily either writing/editing manuscripts or playing games. This includes intensive, sometimes rapid, clicking.
Avatar f tn I hit the side of my hand where the little finger is with a door very hard 5 weeks ago while playing with my kid, I fell down and my hand hit the door, when that happened it did not hurt much, it moves fine, but now after 5 weeks it is hurting more, when I pull the little finger back my hand hurts, and now the pain is going a little up my arm between my hand and the elbow, it worries me, shouldn't the pain be gone by now, it didn't almost hurt at the beginning, could it be a fracture?
Avatar m tn But hurt all day and today it is swollen from little finger down along the outside of my hand and pain is much worse. I didn't hit my hand, so do not hink it is a broken bone....but I've had a broken thumb previously and pain & swelling are similar. Help!!!
Avatar m tn or i feel tension on it if i make a fist, no visible swelling and dosent look red or anything.
Avatar n tn sent me for a nerve test forget the name EMT?? not sure. Was diagnoised with the carpal tunnel and ulna nerve thing. Have insisions in hand and elbow( haven't seen yet) More annoying than painful but can lead to more serious problems. My pain is mainly in my shoulders, especially my right one and my right shoulder blade. Your shoulder, back, spine and hands will probably need checked. Hope you get some answers.
Avatar f tn I then had a pain in my left thumb joint all of a sudden, it then moved to my wrist and then all into my hand, a chronic ache and throb and cramping. It then started exactly the same in the other hand, the same pattern aswell and is chronic in both of them! I have been to doctors multiple times who don’t know what it is, arthritic tests are all normal and as are xrays. I have been referred to a rheumatologist but the next appointment isn’t for another 6 months so I don’t know what to do.
Avatar m tn In addition, as your sport activity is badminton that requires a quite tight grip of hands for long hours so that may be the leading cause of your pain in fingers/hand. As your leg symptoms are improving, I recommend you to please avoid over-exertion in your game for a period of time till your other fatigue symptoms subsides. Take Care & Regards.
Avatar f tn About three years ago my pinky finger bent without pain, I went to the doctor and he had an X-ray made, but he could not tell me what it was he only said it had fluid build up on top of the joint, but that it was not arthritis. There was nothing he could do, so my finger is still bent with no pain. There are just some things the doctors have no answer for. Just to let you know you are not alone.
Avatar m tn Go for an Orthopaedician examination and confirm the diagnosis and you would need rest, strapping of that finger and anti inflammatory drugs to cure your problem. Take care!
Avatar n tn regularly massaging your hand and fingers; and flexing your hand and fingers from time to time, towards improving it's flexibility and blood circulation.
1467506 tn?1286413017 ) The pain begins at my knuckle joint and extends down all fingers, some wrist pain as well though that seems to come and go whereas finger pain is always there, just intensity changes with activity. I am planning on finding a hand doc this week but wanted to know if this sounded like anything any of you have experienced before. Might it be from the FM or is it most likely not related?
736040 tn?1257436457 it sounds like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome to me. Do the pops feel like someone pulled and let go of a guitar string? not sure if that makes sense but I get that sensation. Also, if you tap on the inside of your srist, almost the heel of your hand (by the palm) and pain shoots into your middle finger & first finger & thumb, there is a good chance that it's CTS. that is a test they do for CTS.
Avatar f tn it sounds like some joint pain w wrist and fingers (compared w skin and musclular pain?), so a good dr or rheumatologist might have some clues. don't overtrain or force anything, it doesn't help. some stretching and routines that help maintain range of movement and flexibility are beneficial. just please don't pound your inflamed joints, it's damaging. if you find warm packs or cold packs help, do that.
Avatar f tn what can I do to help with pain and numbness n hand and fingees which wakes me up at night?
Avatar f tn Which part of the finger is painful and does it affect both hands? Aside from the finger pain, what other symptoms are present? Finger pain is pain may be attributed to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, injury, blood flow problems, nerve problems and even from conditions such as diabetes. Try to avoid activities that cause or worsen pain. Anti-inflammatory medication can also help. If it persists, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper diagnosis.
Avatar f tn It’s widest when wrist and hand are straight in line. When the hand is bent up or down, the tunnel becomes slightly smaller. This then presses on the nerve which then causes a pain right up to the arm. Often proper working style, working without bending wrist, using smooth movements to operate the mouse and key pad, and relaxing the joints of finger, wrist and arm in between helps.
Avatar n tn The man was very rough with the massage and it caused me pain. I asked him to stop. Later that day, I still felt pain in my lower legs. For the past two days my right hand middle finger (next to my index finger) has been tight and felt numb. The right leg still has an intermittent pain. Should I be concerned? Also there is a small soft knot on my left leg but it doesn't hurt and I don't know if it was already there prior to the massage.
Avatar m tn I herniated L6/S1 10 years ago and suffer from spondylyosis for over 30 years. A year ago my right index finger was at a right angle and could not be lifted. My finger is now almost straight unless I exercise it (typing). I did an EMG last year and was told I had reinnervation deficiencies in both arms, which were worse on the right side. My neurology exam was normal. Until two weeks ago except for my index finger I was symptom free.
Avatar n tn This causes numbness of pinky finger and that side of ring finger along with pain on the inner side of forearm. Treatment is usually through physiotherapy. Hypothyroidism, diabetes, tumors and infections of the ulnar and spinal nerves and rheumatism can all cause numbness of little and ring finger. Please consult a neurologist. Take care!
