Why Am I Suffering Persistent Pain, Swollen And Itchy Little Finger?
I have a persistently painful, quite swollen and slightly itchy little finger on my right hand (I m right-handed ). At its worst it travels up the outer side of my arm through my wrist and further and to the tip of my finger. I use a laptop every day and play the piano about 4 days per week... Any suggestions? I m 46 and hoping it s not arthritis. No family history of arthritis as far as I m aware...

Hi,
It is due to minor inflammation or contusion that have developed due to overuse of finger. Nothing much to worry and you can take analgesics / anti-inflammatory combination like acetaminophen/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, you can consult an orthopaedic doctor and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
