A member asked:
Can a sinus infection cause neck pain, and extreme phone use cause slight numbess in pinky/wedding finger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neck Pain/Sinusitis: Sinus infection can cause neck pain, neck stiffness, myalgia (muscles pain) & headaches. Also it can cause swollen neck glands which can also be painful. Excessive phone use on itself is not related to pinky numbness, but around your "funny bone" located about your elbow, the ulnar nerve is located; it is vulnerable to compression at this location. Also pinched nerve in your neck can be a cause.
