What Causes Pain In Finger After Touching Cold Object?
Hi. Every time I touch something cold (ice, jug of milk,soda can,etc.) I get an almost unbearable pain in my fingers or hands--wherever the point of contact is. Do you have any idea what could be causing this? It hurts for a few seconds even once the cold object is removed.

Hello,
Pain in the fingers usually is related to rheumatoid arthritis. I suggest to check the rheumatoid factor level for further evaluation. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest gentle stretching exercises for relieve.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
