Why am i getting finger cramps?

Overuse: Most finger cramps are the result of overuse. Too much writing, typing, playing an instrument may be the culprit. If rest does not improve the cramps medical evaluation may be necessary to look for more rare causes.

Limited Details: Without more details, that's difficult to say. There are many causes from nerve related to systemic to issues of overuse at home and/or work. A visit to a hand doctor, good history and physical should reveal quite a bit. Good luck.
