Pulling Sensation In Finger Through Left Hand. Diagnosed With Rheumatoid Arthritis. On Methotrexate, Prednisone, Folic Acid
All of a sudden now Ive been having a pulling like sensation down my left middle finger thru my left hand. It just hits me all of a sudden when its rubbed, or moved in a certain direction. It feels like my skin just tightens up and sometimes it comes with a sharp pain. This happens off and on throughout the day. I ve been diagnosed with rheaumatoid arthritis now for 9 years. I am going to be 50 in a couple of months and I am on methotrexate, prednisone, and folic acid.

Hi and welcome to HCM
Pulling sensation and tightness in finger seems to be due to muscle spasm and related to rheumatoid arthritis. Beside taking medicines you also need regular exercises to preserve joint mobility and maintain muscle strength.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and informative and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care.
