arthritic pain in left wrist and fingers

by Helen Miller
(Manchester)

Trapped nerve in upper left arm which turned to pins and needles after a few minutes which lasted around an hour. This has since turned into arthritic pain in my wrist and fingers.

Hello Helen,
This is probably not "arthritic" pain. It sounds far more like nerve pain and could come from your neck or the space between the collar bone and the first rib, known as the Thoracic Outlet. Type this term into the Search this site at C-H.

Which fingers does it affect, that gives us much information.

If it lasts, as with all radiating pains from the spine, it's better not to delay. Get to see your local chiropractor.
