pain in the little finger when bending

Guest · Guest

I suddenly noticed severe pain when bending my little finger towards my palm. It is only on my left finger and pain is only at the knuckle level and not any other joints of my finger. I don't remember injuring it. I do have relatively tight shoulder but in good health otherwise. What could be the cause of this?

Hi my brother started having similar problems with his hand a few years ago. He had even stranger symptoms that you do. He had a pain in his whole hand, had tingling feelings from time to time, stabbing pains and finger pains.
They just appeared suddenly and our friend who is a doctor said this could be due to many different disorders and then he should be checking it asap.
He was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, something I didn’t even know it existed before. When I did some reading on the topic, I learned that these symptoms that my brother had resemble many other disorders and diseases. Most of them were musculoskeletal like tendonitis, or bursitis and even arthritis but some systemic disease like lupus could be causing them as well.
