Rheumatology (including Arthritis) - Broken Finger Aching

Expert: Rusty Ford - 2/16/2009

Question
I broke my little finger quite a few years ago and it doesn't sit properly anymore. It is very bent and hurts when I try to straighten it. I work in an office which requires typing but I have been experiencing a lot of aching in my little finger whilst typing. I try to hold my finger in my fast and type just with my index finger but it still continues to hurt.
Could I be developing arthritis?

Answer
Natasha,

Trauma to a joint is one of the main causes of osteoarthritis. I dislocated a joint on my pinky finger and had the same thing happen. It was this way for two years until I tried a cetyl myristoleate product.

Here are two links about two types of supplements that may help.
