Question 1

Question 2

i have a severe pain in my left middle finger on the top joint ?

Accepted Answer

Possible Heberden's: Women are more likely to get a certain type of osteoarthritis of their hands when compared to men. Typically this involves the set of joints that the end the fingers and the middle finger joints. Initially there may pain but over several months there can be warmth/redness and eventually bony enlargement of the joint which, at the area you describe, would be a Heberden's (bony growth - spur).

Question 3

Ulnar?: You could possess a pinched nerve at the elbow, termed cubital tunnel syndrome.  Sometimes, nerves are pinched at the wrist and cause similar symptoms.  Check with a hand specialist, get diagnosis confirmed, and treated.

Question 4

Could be: You can get arthritis in your hand and this can cause sudden worsening pain with some activities.  Other causes could be trigger finger or snapping tendon.  Splinting or buddy taping to adjacent finger is ok for a while, but can cause stiffness if splinted too long.

No: The typical pain from a heart attack is shoulder to arm. The pain you describe is more neurological. Still be safe and check it out. Rare things always happen.

Question 7

pain in left hand middle and ring finger joints in morning?

Accepted Answer

Arthritis could: Be playing a part especially if you have had an injury in the past.  Outside of that it could very well be a trigger finger if it is an isolated finger.  Typically it will feel stiff in the morning and may lock-up.  You can try extension exercises.  Icing.  It may require an injection to help it.  If it is not getting better seek the advice of a hand doc or orthopaedic surgeon.

No quick fix: You have something going on that requires a physical examination to diagnose see a hand surgeon.
