Suggest Treatment For Dull Pain In Forearm And Finger
Question: Hi I'm a 40 year old female for the past week I have been experiencing a dull ache in my left forearm and hand also middle finger. Seems to be worse when I'm sitting at my desk at work The only thing that seems to relieve it is heat what could this be what can I do for symptoms
Brief Answer:
Supportive care and workup
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. pain in left arm and muddle finger mostly after prolonged sitting on a desk is likely a musculoskeletal pain and sitting posture is aggrevating it. You need some pain killers, rest, frequently changing posture and a litte workup like radiographs of neck spine to rule out any pinched nerve. Physiotherapy exercises and heat will help. Take some advil for the relief meanwhile.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
