What Causes Discomfort In Little Finger Along With Cold Sensation?

Left hand - Pinky finger has been having mild discomfort for several days. It is also cold. When I squeeze the tip, the color returns very slowly. With a fever thermometer it registers 1.0 degrees colder than other fingers. I have arthritis in the thumb of that hand. I drive 300 miles per day and wear an over-the counter thumb brace on that hand while driving. Have had the brace for several years.

An examination by your doctor will make things clear as to what exactly, if anything, is causing your symptoms.
