A member asked:
I keep getting a sharp and weird pain that goes from my 2 middle fingers to my palm of my hand and travels up my arm, when i go to grip anything .?

Nerve vs. joint: Pain with gripping something may have to do with carpal tunnel syndrome especially if numbness and/or tingling are present. Pain is usually distributed along the thumb, index and middle fingers but sometimes can involved the ring and pinky. If you have numbness/tingling as mentioned above, a trial of wrist splints may be helpful. Local heat, ibuprofen/naproxen, paraffin applications worth trying.
