finger pain computer

Of late, I have noticed mild pain in my right hand and wrist especially when on the computer. The pain is more neuralgic type and not necessarily bone or muscle pain. I feel it is also finger specific, especially all my fingers other than my thumb and pinkie all of which I use to move the cursor. I am afraid I may have carpal tunnel. Please do suggest what to do now.

I was diagnosed with MS in August of this year and this finger pain was one of the earliest symptoms after I fainted in Feb (but had no idea that was anything serious) - I went to a rheumatologist for the finger pain and he couldn't find anything but did think I had carpal tunnel and the nerve test for that is what started me on the path to a MS diagnosis.

I have a pain that begins a few inches above my elbow( I think it might be the lower,inner part of my tricep) and shoots down into my index finger. The pain in my finger is like needles. Its been about 2 days now. Any ideas on what it might be? thanks, M This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/293389'>Shooting pain in arm</a>.

As you are a computer programmer and likely to be using your index finger using a mouse and using a keyboard a lot, it is likely that you are experiencing repetitive injury. It is likely that there is some form of arthritic changes going on with your joint. Because you use your hands a lot for computer work, it would be a good idea to get a correct diagnosis of the problem. Are you able to use one of your other fingers for the computer programming so that you can rest the index finger?

I have this problem, burning pain between index finger and 2nd finger. I cannot clench my fist unless I straighten index finger then I can make fist with the other three. I have never heard of this before, so if you have no answer I will have to goto.

If it is carpel then the pain should be in the thumb, index finger and middle finger area of your hand. If it is the outside two fingers of your hand then it would suggest the ulnar nerve. Considering you experience it in arm, feet, legs; I would suggest talking to your doctor and let them lead you in the right direction for testing and diagnosis.

This then presses on the nerve which then causes a pain right up to the elbow. Thumb and pointer finger are first to be affected. 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. A wrist support or arm support too helps and you have computer chairs with support for your spine and arm.

I'm a healthy 29 year old female. For the past two days I've had intense pain in my fingers and occassionally works its way into my forearm and shoulder. Usually the pain is at its worse during the night. It first starts with pins and needles then it feels like severe joint pain that gets worse. I've had this same finger hand pain before a few months back and it lasted for nearly a month then. At that time my doctor said it was trigger finger.

I am at my computer and all of a sudden my middle right finger started shaking crazily. It never did that again. As far as I know I am in excellant health for 65. I take 10 mg Lipator and allergy over the counter remedys, I do have sleep apthea but am on CPAP therapy. I have a complete physical every year with a six month follow up. Blood pressure has always been excellant. I have been very tired the last couple of days, but attributed it to the Clariton and Benedryl. Any thoughts?

But my middle finger, index finger and thumb are definitely numb and slightly swollen. My index finger, though, is the only finger experiencing some pain along with the numbness and swelling. Things to note: I did not bang my elbow on anything. I have rested it while sitting at my computer and have been bending it and actively using my left arm where my left arm has had to bend fast and flex out with more than ten pounds (lifting and putting away groceries mostly).

If the pain is gone, then just keep an eye on it. If you notice any more pain or any swelling, I would see a doctor. It is possible that it could be tendonitis, but since it was only a one time thing and you are not in constant pain, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

It can even be trigger finger where the joints lock up. Once you unlock the joint by moving your finger, the finger straightens. It can also be a tense tendon. Stretching and strengthening exercises may help. Please show this to your doctor. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you.

regularly massaging your hand and fingers; and flexing your hand and fingers from time to time, towards improving it's flexibility and blood circulation.

When I was 7 or 8 years old I had surgery on my ring finger for trigger finger. I am 27 now and in the past year I have noticed that the same finger is becoming stiff. Today it caused me pain all day and its difficult for me to even type with it. Its stiff and kind of wants to naturally bend, but there is no clicking or popping. Is my trigger finger coming back or could this just be some type of arthritis? Has this happend to anyone else who has had trigger finger?

I believed I had Carpal tunnel syndrome because when I was writing i would get a shooting pain up and down ONLY my wrist area, and when on the computer when my right hand was using the mouse and resting on the desk at the same time, my wrist hurt too much to have any pressure on it.

A couple of days ago I was sitting at my computer when I experienced a sharp pain in my wrist. It's right where the hand ends at the pinky and the pain comes and goes quite frequently. I'm pretty sure its not carpal tunnel because I don't experience any numbness in my index finger or thumb but i'm thinking it might be tendonitis. Anybody have any ideas on what it is and how to releave the pain?

This morning I noticed along with the slight pins and needles feeling there is a pain in my palm between my ring finger and little finger, radiating up inner arm and around the outside where elbow is and up to my shoulder. A collegue suggested it is carpal tunnel syndrome but wouldn't the pain stop at the wrist? I'm thinking that it is a trapped nerve in my shoulder. I think I know what caused it: I tend to lean on my left hand (resting on chair) when working on my computer.

I am a 45yr old white female that is having severe pain in "MCP" joints; mainly on middle, ring, little finger for both hands and on my left hand the thumb. Also, my hands fall asleep when i am sleeping that has caused me to wake up. Also, I have be awoken by both of my ring fingers spasmed closed, which was very painful. This started about 1 month ago. No new medication or change of habits have occurred. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia December '06.

When scalene muscle is the cause of pain, the pain is referred to chest, inner lining of scapula (shoulder bone), shoulder, posterior and lateral sides of the arm right up to the thumb and index finger. Repeated clicking of mouse of computer can injure the tendon of index, cause compression of median nerve and also cause this numbness. Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral. Take care!

So recently I've been having some increasing cracks and weird feelings and some pain whenever I do any exercise that requires pressure on my right elbow. I don't go to the gym but I have P90-X. I'm also on the computer for 4-6 hours daily for work, school, and some gaming. I was thinking it could be from working too hard or being on the computer to much.

I've been experiencing numb fingertips on my right hand (middle ring and little finger). It pops up whenever I go from my car to my house - office to my car, that kind of thing. Literally from half way down to the fingertips they go absolutely bloodless and numb. No tingling or warning just sudden cold. This seems to be a long line of health problems (slipped disc, Amenorrhea, depression). I saw my GP, he suggested I write a diary about it for 3 weeks and then go back.

Does anyone have Osteoarthritis in finger joints. What do you do for pain and stiffness. Also what jobs do you do, I had to quit my job of 10 years, (doctor said so) looking for a job, but not sure what to do, any ideas. Going to start physical therapy soon.

I had hooked up with a couple girls days prior, one was protected intercourse, and the other was just finger stimulation of her by me for a short period. I did not have any other symptoms, headache, fever, itching, or pain. Any advice you could give would be appreciated.

Sorry if this is the wrong section to post this under. I'm 17 and have been having this for 3-4 weeks now. I will get random pain (burning) in the back right side of my neck I don't even know how to properly explain it really. When it does happen it starts in the back right side of my neck goes down my back and to my head it then makes my entire head twitch back and forth for like 3 seconds and then for some reason I get cold sweats and an immense amount of anxiety for like 30 seconds.

I had suffered with severe pain for 2 years prior to the procedure. The surgery was not successful and now I have golfers elbow in both my left and right elbow as well as having a calcium deposit on the tendon at the surgery site. Wha,t if anything can be done for me?
