What Causes Severe Pain And Weakness In The Fingers And Knee?
I have moderate to severe pain and weakness in the left and right fingers and knuckles and my right knee. I have been tested for arthritis and xrayed both of which showed no arthritis. I have diabetes type 1 semi controlled and primary schlerosing cholangitis stage 3 and diabetic neuropothy. What is causing the pain?

Hello,
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on a nerve (median nerve) in the wrist. The symptoms include tingling, numbness, weakness or pain of the fingers and hand. Tendon pain is actually a symptom of tendinosis, a series of very small tears (micro-tears) in the tissue in or around the tendon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
