The exercises Anne Hunt posted for upper back pain have left my
shoulders feeling 30 years younger, so I thought "Hey, why not ask
if anyone has help with a new and annoying pain."
The middle finger of my right hand is the culprit, I woke one morning
with the top knuckle very swollen, but the pain is on the opposite
side in the upper section of the palm, right under that knuckle.
Can't make a tight fist and can't flex the fingers fully, now, after
a few days of this, the pain extends along the outside edges of the
arm about halfway up the fore arm.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received
