Is it normal to get joint pain in your fingers after you quit smoking?

Dr. Keith Thomae answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Most likely not.....: No, not at age 16. Joints have very poor blood supply, and smoking does cause vascular/blood issues, but at your young age, it is mostly a non-smoking associated arthritis.

Hi! I lacerated a few of my fingers (pinky, ring, and middle) about 6 months ago. I got surgery, but I'm still unable to bend those fingers. The surgeon said the area of connection was damaged and attached the tendon to the next joint. Is this normal?
