What Causes Pain In The Finger Tips?
Hi doctor. My wife often gets 5 seconds of pain at the tips of 3 of her right fingers without having used her hands for anything. She has lymphedema on the left arm from successful cancer surgery which causes her pain and swelling. But, would you know what this new problem on her hand is? Thank you.

Hi,
It can be due to neuropathic causes most probably.
She can consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
As of now, she can consider analgesics like Gabapentin for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
