A member asked:

Right pinky finger on bottom hurts but when i put it in a splint it doesn't hurt anymore. been like this for a while. what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Is the pinky tender?: Not completely clear. If there is a nerve along the finger he splint may relieve the nerve pressure to help the pinky. If the pinky itself is tender you would need to have that clarified. See your physician
