Hi there, welcome to HCM, thanks for your question.

It is highly unlikely that the sweeding in your left little finger is caused form your cervical spine.Cervical spine compression would cause pain or numbness or burning sensation or weakness in your fingers.But never compression in cervical spine has not been associated with swelling in fingers.

I would suggest you to be seen and be examined by an orthopaedic surgeon or hand surgeon to get yourselves evaluated for other cases of finger swelling.


Hope this answers your question.All the best.

Thank you.

with best regards.
