Patients with neck pain due to cervical nerve root irritation may have hand pain significant enough that they may have difficulty making a fist. I noticed an injury site that I have pain even to the touch, my lower thumb knuckle.
The joints of the fingertips may have a hard time bending. This most peripheral joint of the fingertips is known as the distal interphalangeal joint. Bending of this joint is performed by the flexor digitorum profundus muscle.
The nerve supply to the flexor digitorum profundus:
- slips to the index and middle fingers are supplied by the anterior interosseous branch of the median nerve
- slips to the ring and fingers are supplied by the ulnar nerve.
Neck pain - finger pain - extension of fingers
Patients with neck pain can have pain in the fingers with difficulty in finger extension (finger straightening).
I have been having pain in the knuckle of my thumb and i sometimes find myself using the pad of my thumb instead of my thumb on the back of the neck.
One of the many Physicians and Chiropractors who recommends Flexcin w/ CM8™ is Dr. Bob Martin, the nationally reknowned radio show host, who hosts the nationally syndicated weekly radio show, "Health Talk". Would you like to hear what Dr. Bob had to say about Flexcin?
