I recently posted a question about my arm/elbow area. I straighten my arm almost out all the way, with some little aching or catching. I think its something to do with the FCU, not sure though. Its my elbow/forearm area. Today my middle finger ached for a few seconds, it hurt and uncomfortable, it felt like it was sprung or had been sprained. It didn't last but a few minutes. Is that issue separate from my elbow/forearm? I may have to see an orthopedic if it doesn't get any better. I just want to know what would cause my middle finger on the same arm, to feel throb a few seconds and then go away. Any ideas? I tried opening a car trunk, I pushed the button and left up, or something and did something to my wrist (thumbside). Thats the only thing I can think of that could cause the finger issue, possibly. Thanks!

Yes you could have sprained or strained something. Have you been able to recreate the pain again? If not, it might just have been a freak thing and a tendon or joitn might not have tracked properly. If you continue to experience pain, it is probably a good idel to see an ortho.
