It started on Thursday with just pain in the middle finger knuckle, but has now moved into both fingers. It's more of a dull achy numb annoying feeling. I work on the computer all day. Should I call my Doctor or try and rearrange my workstation? It really only hurts if I am using my left arm/hand...if it is just resting the feeling is not there.
Thanks!

It could either be carpal tunnel or arthritis. You did not mention your age. I had the same thing because of working consistently on a computer. Went to the Dr.; they x-rayed. Mine was arthritis. Carpal tunnel symptoms include frequent burning, tingling, or itching numbness in the palm of the hand and the fingers, especially the thumb and the index and middle fingers. Mine was also my left hand. I am left-handed, but a right-handed mouse clicker, so I was really confused. Go see your Dr. You may need your workstation reconfigured for ergonomic purposes. Good luck!

Ask your doctor if its rheumatoid arthritis. The common causes of RA can be:
1. Overweight and obesity
2. Preceding age
3. Hormonal changes
4. Heredity factors
5. Weather changes
6. Nutrient deficiencies
7. Excessive acid in the body

sounds like carpal tunnel syndrome. It is caused by repetitive motion, anything where you are constantly using your hands doing the same thing over and over. I think most are actually job related. That pain can eventually shoot up your arm, so please see your doctor.

Carpel Tunnel syndrome. Perhaps you can make adjustments at your workstation and that can help. It did me.
