Dr. Edward Hellman answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Hard to say: There are many possibilities, and usually a detailed exam and appropriate studies can determine the cause. Possible causes can include a local problem in the finger itself verses a neurological problem such as carpal tunnel syndrome, to even a pinched nerve in the neck. Consider being seen.
