My pinky finger feels jammed?? It hurts.?

Question

Both of my pinky fingers feel jammed and they make it hard to write. I asked my chiropractor and a physical therapist they both weren't sure and blew it off. Did this ever happen to anyone? Could it be arthritis??? I'm only twenty by the way.

Answer 1

If it feels like deep joint pain it could be arthritis...but if you play a Sport or have been using your hands in repetetive motion for a while it could be repetetive motion injury...try putting ice-packs on them for 20 minute intervals and taping them to the ring finger for a day or two...see if that helps, if it doesn't you may need to check with your M.D. and have a ESR (Sed Rate) and or Arthritis Panel ran to check for arthritis (especially if it runs in your family)...Good Luck,Aloha and feel better.
