Index and middle fingers and wrist (where i rest on when i type/use mouse) pain...

googled a bit something similar is carpal tunnel finger.

 

somehow it don't seem to be the same... and that tunnel thingy looks scary.. :wacko:

 

anyone here has had similar issue?

will it go away if i don't use that finger to type/use mouse for, say, a month?

i suffered from ulnar nerve palsy for the last 10 yrs. (last 2 fingers) the other 3 fingers are connected to another nerve.

 

basically, injured the nerve and then during the healing process, kept resting the elbow on the table, causing further problems (just had a relapse 3-4mths ago where i lost the entire feeling in that section of the hand again for a week or two) right now been taking some b-complex. if i were you, just go get it checked out. i waited too long the first time, and by then, the damage is permanent ... my last finger has forever lost a little feeling at the side (its at abt 80-90% now)

Pain at finger tip sound like gout

 

hope not...otherwise i'd be the first among my relatives/friends that is not fat to kenna..

knn.. s--t start visiting one by one when we get older..

 

btw, these types need specialists, not general practitioner to be able to diagnose and fix right?

 

probably gonna spend a fortune leow..thought of getting the polyclinic to refer a gahmen hospital..

finally i can make full use of my privilege as singapo-lang [bigcry]

May not be so serious lah...

If you do use mouse a lot like playing games for hours, yes. You will get this.

Just stop using mouse/keyboard excessively for a few weeks. You should feel better.

Concur with Ben 5266 ; perhaps it is a repetitive stress injury - common in those who use mouse for long hrs.

Try resting wrist for a wk or so, immobilise the affected wrist with a a guard to reduce bending/ flexing. [:)]

confirmed CTS. It is a RSI. Need to reconfigure how u use the mouse and the touchpad, etc. If nerve impingement, sorry dude, no hope, gotta go under the knife to release tension
