Symptom: Pain – Finger

Finger pain, or pain in the finger, is discomfort that strikes anywhere in the fingers on the hand. Finger pain may be aching and sharp or dull, and strike one, all, or any fingers. Finger pain can occur as a result of conditions such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, an injury to the finger, problems with the nerves in the fingers, or problems with circulation in the fingers. Pain in the finger may be associated with a numb or tingling sensation, which typically indicates a blood flow or nerve issue. While rest, treatment, and healing can improve finger pain caused by injury, anti-inflammatory medications may help ease finger pain associated with arthritis.
