What causes pain in the little finger

Pain in the little finger may be caused by trauma or neurogenic disease, and may also be related to joint diseases. It cannot be ruled out that it is caused by forearm extensor muscle injury.

1. Trauma: Due to external force collision or compression of the finger, the soft tissue of the tissue may be damaged, and symptoms of pain in the little finger may also occur.

2. Neurogenic diseases: When a neurogenic disease occurs in the little finger, pain symptoms may occur, and numbness may also occur. Radiating pain and numbness may also occur in the limbs.

3. Joint diseases: Patients with osteoarthritis or severe rheumatoid arthritis usually suffer from joint deformation, which affects local mobility.

4. Forearm extensor muscle injury: Working at a computer desk for a long time or causing long-term hand fatigue may lead to chronic strain in the joints and cause pain in the little finger.

If you have a headache in your little finger, you need to go to a regular hospital to take local X-rays to diagnose the cause of the disease, and take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as prescribed by the doctor. You should also avoid putting excessive weight on your hands and being too tired. Pay attention to weather changes and dress warmly to avoid local cold to prevent worsening of symptoms.
