Question 3

stabbing pain in the palm of my left hand, no other symptoms, does not come from anywhere else ..been about 20 minutes..41 yr old female..no injury?

Accepted Answer

It may be in irritat:  it may be an irritated nerve. Can't say for sure where it would be coming from but someplace up the arm. Could even be as far up is it your neck. I'm assuming the palm of your hand is not tender. Your physician will evaluate you, see if these issues are occurring, might recommend a splint for your wrist to start with, but you need a full evaluation for the best therapy.

Question 4

Inflammation: Some kind of an inflammation must be causing the pain, redness or tingling?, it may be tendinitis, a soft tissue injury, gout, fracture. Only way is to be examined. Meanwhile try aleve (naproxen) twice a day if not contraindicated.

Question 5

my 103lb dog tried running outside. i. caught her with my left hand. pain in wrist, palm, and middle finger and is very warm now. can't make a fist ?

Accepted Answer

Be seen: I would encourage you to be seen.  While there are many possibilities that could represent minimal injuries, you may very well have ruptured one if the flexor tendons in your hand, which would require surgery to fix.  When a flexor tendon injury occurs, patients have pain and swelling in the palm and are unable to make a fist like you are describing.

The longer answer is that there are various sources of hand painn, ranging from the spine to the thoracic outlet region to nerve compression in the forearm or more commonly also the wrist.  The answer to the site of the problem can be determined by a careful neurologist possibly including electrical sudies of the nerves.  See your neurologist.
