I have increasing pain and stiffness in the middle finger of my left hand mainly on the palm side. Sometime it is hard to move sometimes it jumps and or clicks. The pain is centred where the finger meets the hand. It is improved if I press on both sides further up the hand or on the wrist

Is it just arthritis can anything be done. Will supporting it / resting it help or just make it worse

    I honestly can't remember what a normal finger should feel like, Lots ofpain, but I'm bumpimg this up in the hope that someone else will.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Hi Lotsofpain,

    Just the other day, the little finger of my right hand was a bit sore in the same position as you describe and it stuck occasionally too. I could unstick it by squeezing just below with my left thumb and index finger and it felt better once I waggled my fingers around a bit as part of my physio regime, pretending to play the piano.

    I hope your pain eases soon, but if not I'd give your doc or nurse a quick ring just in case it's a different sort of problem.

    Best wishes,
    Phoebe
    PsA (psoriatic arthritis) and other things since 1990. Happy to help when I can :-)
