What Could Cause Shoulder Pain And Swollen Middle Finger?

Have had pain in shoulder for many years, sometimes so bad I fill sick. (Possibly bursitis) Also limited movement. The pain can track down to my elbow but over last few weeks my middle finger is very swollen. Could it be linked to my shoulder problem? I m 40.

i do not think that pain in middle finger and shoulder are related to each other.i would suggest you to do mri of the shoulder and cervical spine to check if there is any pinch nerve or if there is bursitis in shoulder. Also take Brufen for pain relief. Your further management will depend upon your MRI reports.
