Re: Major Problem in my Right Hand

Author: kdk ★2017

I've been having some similar - though not identical nor as severe - problems moving and controlling my right pinky and ring finger. My diagnosis at this point is a pinched nerve in my cervical spine and, possibly, in my elbow. Pressure anywhere along the ulnar nerve can cause symptoms in the pinky and ring finger as well as pain at various points along the arm, so if this kind of problem hasn't already been investigated, it might be worth exploring. The tendons that connect the muscles in the forearm to the various points of movement in the fingers may themselves be inflamed. (Disclaimer - I'm not a physician, so my description is limited to what I've understood from my doctors' and physical therapist's explanations.)
