A member asked:

17, about to become programmer joint pain esp. in my distal interphalangeal joints pain worse at typing can any stretching help? what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Finger pain: I suggest you see either a hand specialist or rheumatologist to fully evaluate the joints. It is important to figure out exactly what is causing the joint pain at your age. This information will allow you to receive the appropriate treatment.
