A member asked:

I have sle and take my medications but these days i have burning sensation in the thumb and first finger and part of the palm what could be this ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibilities: Consider carpal tunnel syndrome, or even c-6 radiculopathy, referred from neck, and these may be just co-morbidities. Mri and EMG testing may help.
