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.
A few weeks later, I noticed I could feel a nerve fairly easy between my thumb and index finger.
Here recently I've had a lot of headaches, muscle twitching and aching pain in my left arm/hand. I've noticed that my pinky finger can move but seems to move like I was double jointed or something.
I seem to have a stiff neck every now and then but I feel like I've always had that.
When I hold a cup or a glass of something in my left hand I shake really bad.
Thank you, symptoms are nothing thus why I went and take a test today at 40 days post pep. Is the test I took promising that I didn't contract HIV, I need to take a 4th Generation Duo test in 7 days to come.
Other symptoms may include vertigo, nausea (dizziness) that you felt. Other symptoms are like neck pain and stiffness can be intermittent. It will be best that you consult a neurologist who would like to prescribe Pain killers, steroid and muscle relaxants. Other treatments could be cervical orthosis such as a soft cervical collar or stiffer neck brace to restrict neck movement. In addition, cervical traction may also be suggested by the doctor, if condition is severe. Hope this helps.
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?
You may have severely bruised the bone, or fractured it by the force that went on the hand as you landed.
An xray of the hand would be able to show whether you have caused damage to the bone.
In the meantime strap the middle finger to the two either side to immobilise it. You can apply a lot of natural yogurt to that part and lightly bandage it. This helps by drawing out the inflammation.
Keep your weight off that hand too until it is fully healed.

I recently went to the doctor for pain in my shoulder, arm and ring finger and pinky finger feeling like they are asleep all the time. I am no longer able to close index finger to the finger next to it. I have lost strength and control in my fingers indicated. The pain in my shoulder is getting sever. The doctor looked at both shoulders and said that I have muscle atrophy in the shoulder and arm. He said that it could be something soft tissue causing nerve intrusion.
Just asking if any history of neck strain or pain. I guess I really need to take pain meds. I try to hold off as long as I can.. Family says all would be ok if I didn;t take all those meds. HAH. Thety should have seen my BPD and ADD before I was palced on "all those meds" (5). How do you all deal with the pain. At times it makes me so mean, my husband will bring the Lortab, give to me with diet coke and say here, I can;t take any more.
I had unprotected vaginal sex, I was the reciever. This happened 11/4/11. Five weeks later I got sick with pharyngitis/strep. Took anitbiotics developed yeast infection and white tongue. No fever at all. Tested for HIV at 25 days, 7, 9.5, 11, weeks and now 89(1 day short)days. All were negative. Am I considered conclusive? I'm still having symptoms now I have pain in finger joints with swelling, fatigue, and bronchitis symptoms. Can extreme stress delay antibody production?
I was pulling open my cars jammed ashtray, it was stuck so I pulled harder and my 2 fingers....
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.
i thought it was just a jam. now it still hurts but only if i stretch it or movie alot. it is my right middle finger and it hurts around the knuckle. it hurts alittle to the right and to the left of the knuckle when i push down on it also. but there is absolutely no swelling at all. and also no difference in color or size hen my other middle finger. i was wondering whats wrong with it, and if i should do anything about it.
You never had an exposure and we don't discuss symptoms. HIV has no specific symptoms.
I was told by MD that bump/node/growth/bubble on my hand at base of my finger--the finger next to smallest finger--was a symptom of a problem that would eventually cause my finger go close/tighten/clinch and become unusable. I have so many other symptoms of MS--most, actually--but have not been told I have MS, I would like to know the name of this problem and more: is it a nerve or muscle problem or both? is it a symptom of MS? Is it my imagnination that doctors are reluctant to diagnose MS?
