A member asked:

My mom has shooting pains in her pinky and ring finger on her right hand what could the causes be and what should she do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Let me explain: There one main reason for that, pinched nerve at the elbow from the inside or pinched nerve at the neck level. Go to your doctor he will an x-ray on the neck to see if problem there and possibly nerve test on the r side to see were the nerve is pinched. Go and check it out.
