Shooting pain

2017-05-11 09:27:57
For over 2 weeks now suddenly I've started to get shooting pain in my left index finger. Which transmits thru my palm to my elbow. I visited our family doctor & suggested I take Rabekind 20 & Mariheal-D twice a day for the last 3 days. The pain is bad now spreading to my middle finger so worried what to do as the family physician says no worries but my wife is concerned.

You could be having tenosynovitis. It can also be due to infection. You should not ignore it as it can get serious. It's already over 2 weeks so it's unlikely to be a minor issue.
Next Steps
Visit an orthopaedic doctor nearby.
