What causes random sharp pain in the fingers?
Patient: I m getting a sharp pain that runs along my left ring finger. It started last night and kept me from sleeping.It has continued at random times today returning every so often.There are no stings or bite marks so I m assuming it s internal, maybe nerve? Any thoughts? Thanks,Eddy. Doctor: Hello Eddy, i am sorry to hear about the discomfort you are suffering from. the sharp pain from which you are suffering is probably due to irritation of a digital nerve. you should definitely visit a hand surgeon if the symptoms remain the same as there maybe a neuroma or compression of ulnar or median nerve. in case of compression they will perform a decompression surgery or in case of neuroma they will excise it under local anesthesia.
