What Causes Tingling And Burning Pain In Finger?

I have a tingling and burning pain (like when we hit our funny elbow bone) in the lower pointer finger. When it can start up at anytime and will be aggravated more when I use it to pick up a milk jug or open the top of a dr pepper. I m 56 and have type 2 diabetes but it s controlled with medication. It doesn t hurt all the time but today it s bad. It only hurts from the knuckle down the the base of the finger. Is this a radial nerve suppression? What can I do to correct it? Thanks, Sheila
