A member asked:

Why i am feeling burning sensation in index finger?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nerve Compression: Your sensation could be related to some nerve compression at your wrist area which we see in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. This can be attributed to the type of work that you do everyday.
