What Causes Pain In The Fingers And Palms?
I have pain in my fingers and upper palm; thinking maybe arthritis. Took over counter medication with no relief . I wake up and it is stiff and painful. Take 2 extra strength tylenol but no help there. Cannot function. Any suggestions? No trauma previously but boy, it hurts!!

Hi,
Pain in your fingers and upper palm could be due to arthritis. As Tylenol is not helping, further investigations are recommended:
- x-ray of the hand
- CRP
- complete blood count
- ERS
- Rheumatoid factor
Rheumatologist is to get further consultation.
For the moment, take ibuprofen and/or naproxen alternating with Tylenol. Apply analgesic cream locally. Massage with essential oils (lavender).
Wish fast recovery.
