What causes intense pain in fingers-not carpal tunnel syndrome?
Carrot3
If the pain is in your pinky and ring fingers, it could indicate a disk herniation in the cervical spine. Most people don't realize that the cervical (neck) nerves control our arms and fingers, and nerve compression there is felt in the arm and / or fingers.
If you've ever had a whiplash occurrence, you're more susceptible to this problem. The disks involved are usually the C5/6 or C6/7 disks. You might even feel some pain in your shoulder.
Getting it corrected cannot be overstated - without proper diagnosis and treatment, eventual paralysis can set in, or nerve damage as well.
The best person to see for this is a Neurosurgeon - they can easily tell if your problem is cervical disk related.
So you understand how easy it is for this to be misdiagnosed, my own cervical disks were severely damaged and the pain in my arm and fingers was excruciating. I was misdiagnosed by 5 doctors before a Neurosurgeon, without any tests, looked at me for about 5 seconds and knew what the problem was.

What cause carpal tunnel?
Hi, There are no exercises which cause carpal tunnel syndrome. CTS is caused by an inflammation in the carpal tunnel ( which is made up of the carpal bones in the hand and the flexor retinaculum (a ligament) ). The inflammation can be caused by a number of things, eg. artheritis of the carpal bones, tendonitis or any condition that causes oedema for example, pregnancy. Some of these things will go away on there own, but some may require medical intervention. There are exercises which will induce the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, which is anything that puts pressure on the carpal tunnel for example when you have your hands bent downwards towards your wrists. But this is not the pathological cause of the syndrome Hope this helps Hi, There are no exercises which cause carpal tunnel syndrome.
