What causes pain at the tip of index finger?
Question
My wife, 26 years old, is facing pain in the tip of index finger of her right hand. Initially it was a kind of electric shock type feeling. Now it pains and pain gets aggravated while working and using that hand. Finger X-ray showed no abnormality. X-ray cervical spine is also normal. Her Hb is 12.2 g% and ESR is 5mm; What should be the next step?

Pain in the tip of the finger (index) could be due to pressure over the nerve roots or peripheral nerve itself. Though the x-ray cervical spine is normal, further work up is necessary. Hence I suggest to consult a neurophysician, so that detail examination has to be performed to localise the site of lesion. Depending upon the other neurological signs, certain tests have to be planned depending upon the deficits.
