What Causes Throbbing Pain In The Forefinger?
Brief Answer:
Can be arthritis or tendonitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The throbbing in the forefinger can be due to arthritis or tendon inflammation- tendonitis. This is not likely to be Gout. If this has happened for the first time then rest and mild pain killers can help in reducing the discomfort. Give rest to the finger. You can apply a local analgesic gel after a hot compress. The pain is likely to subside in a week. In case it persists then do consult an orthopedician for a proper examination.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
