A member asked:

Pain in the joints of the fingers in one hand that nearly brought me to tears. it lasted a couple minutes and went away. why do you think this happened?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Impossible to say: The cause of a single episode of very transient pain is difficult to determine. If it is a repetitive problem then get it evaluated.
