Why does my left little finger hurt?

Many friends who often engage in physical labor often experience pain in the little finger of their left hand. Often at this time, friends think it is just a slight pain and do not pay much attention to it. However, over time, the situation will become more and more serious and will also cause many diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the cause in time and treat it. So, what is the matter with the pain in the little finger of the left hand?

There are many reasons. One is that the cervical spine problem compresses the nerves. The other is heart disease. The pain of angina pectoris radiates towards the little finger of the left hand. When the myocardium is not supplied with enough blood, there will also be a feeling of dizziness. Take an X-ray to confirm the diagnosis. The key is symptomatic treatment and effective reduction. If cervical spondylosis is caused by bone hyperplasia, treatment should be targeted at the bone hyperplasia. If it is caused by cervical disc herniation, treatment should be targeted at the cervical disc herniation. If it is caused by the straightening of the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, treatment should be targeted at the straightening of the physiological curvature.

Generally, most people who experience pain in the little finger are young people. Due to long-term sitting in front of the computer, or long-term copywriting work, the neck is in a certain posture, which causes the neck bones to stiffen, compresses the nerves, and makes the shoulders sore. In addition, work pressure, or excessive and addictive games lead to high mental concentration, which indirectly causes neural numbness and numbness, and eventually from the neck to the shoulders and finally to the little finger. This symptom occurs suddenly. If you exercise consciously, move your neck more, and avoid keeping your neck in the same posture for a long time, it will usually be a one-time attack and will get better.

Don’t think that hand pain is simply a wrist problem. You should look for the culprit from the root cause of the hand pain. There are many diseases that cause numbness and pain in the hands. The most common causes are as follows:

1. Gout: Clinically, about 1% of patients with numbness in the hands are caused by gout. This may be because uric acid is deposited in the median nerve, compressing the median nerve and causing numbness and pain in the hands.

2. Transient cerebral ischemia: This is a common cause of numbness in the hands of the elderly. The elderly often suffer from high blood pressure and high blood lipids. High blood pressure can cause vascular spasm, and high blood lipids can cause vascular sclerosis. In addition, the blood viscosity of the elderly increases and blood flow is slow during sleep. These factors can lead to transient cerebral ischemia and numbness of the hands. Therefore, the elderly should check their blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood rheology tests regularly. If they have high blood pressure or high blood lipids, they should receive treatment. Drink more water and take some medicine to reduce blood viscosity, prevent thrombosis, improve blood supply to the brain, and the numbness in your hands will disappear.

3. Cervical spondylosis: Cervical spondylosis is a common disease among middle-aged and elderly people. It is caused by compression of local blood vessels and nerve tissues of the cervical spine due to cervical bone hyperplasia, intervertebral disc degeneration or relaxation of local joint ligaments. Its symptoms are varied, and numbness of the hands is one of them. If you suffer from cervical spondylosis, you can diagnose it with a cervical spine X-ray. Treatment measures include physical therapy, traction and the use of blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs.

The above is an introduction to the causes of pain in the little finger of the left hand. You must pay more attention to it in your daily life. You can massage your fingers more often. Regular finger massage can promote blood circulation in the hands and thus relieve pain. Patients with more serious conditions must go to the hospital for treatment, which is safer.
