My initial suspicion is that you're habitually doing something that's putting you in an unnatural position. I used to have pains all down the diodes in my right arm. Eventually I figured out that I had to raise my arm just slightly above where it's comfortable (but not noticeably so) to use my mouse. The cumulative effect of doing that all day every day led to something weird going on in my shoulder. A small adjustement to my chair height fixed it.
Same thing with lower back pains - I realized that I always sat with my weight on (ahem) the left side of my pelvic girdle, because my wallet is in my right back pocket. My wallet's less than a half inch thick, which seems like nothing, but I made a habit of putting it on my desk instead of sitting on it and the back pain went away. Data is not the plural of anecdote, but you might want to start paying attention to things you do with your arm and shoulders all the time. Add and subtract variables over time and see which of them has an effect. Put that together with seeing a competent doctor, and unless there's permanent damage you should be able to get it fixed up in no time. On 8/30/06, Jeffrey Moss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Does anybody else get pain in the fingers? What caused it and what'd you do about it? I went to a doctor last year for debilitating pain in my hands (mostly my right index finger), he said it was tendonitis and gave me steroids, which helped me recover but this pain in my index finger never went away. I've been thinking it's either a pinched nerve or permanant tendon damage or something. Any thoughts? -Jeff
