How Can severe Arm Pain Be Treated?
So in my left hand, I have severe pain on my arm bone closest to my body and into my first and second fingers.... some swelling on the first knuckle but not bad. No injury has occurred but I am a musician-piano player. Could this maybe be early onset Arthritis? I am only 35....

Hi,
Arm pain near to your body going to your little & ring finger suggests a nerve pain of ulnar nerve compression. This could be at cervical spine, neck region or at notxh of elbow joint. Site to be decided by physical examination & x ray or MRI as per need. Consult an orthopedic surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
