Cell Phone ElbowCases of “cell phone elbow,” where patients experience tingling or numbness in their ring and pinkie fingers, is not a new condition. Actually, it’s a condition that can be dated back to 1958. What’s the Cause Behind My Shoulder Pain?Shoulder pain is a common complaint heard in many doctors' offices. Like any medical problem, receiving a proper diagnosis for the cause of the pain is important; as it helps determine the proper treatment method. Here is a list of causes of shoulder pain, along with signs that you should seek medical attention for your pain. Understanding Dupuytren’s ContractureDupuytren’s contracture is a condition that affects the connective tissue beneath the skin in the palm of the hand. The connective tissue contracts, or tightens, causing the fingers to curl in toward the palm. Because of the tightening, the fingers can become permanently bent down and the function of the hand is impaired. There is no way to stop or cure Dupuytren’s contracture, but there are treatments available. |
