Dactylalgia

Dactylalgia (from Greek dactylos-finger and algos-pain), dactyodynia, pain in the fingers, which can be of the most varied nature (from the sensation of mild tingling in the area of the finger to unbearable pains—tearing, pulling, sensations of burning, etc.). They are observed in various diseases of both peripheral and central nervous systems. These pains also occur in functional diseases of the nervous system, in diseases of metabolism, and can also depend on local causes (disease of bones, joints, subcutaneous tissue, skin, nails, etc.). The pains intensify with movements, and sometimes appear only when bending the fingers (they are absent in a state of rest)—dactylocampsodynia.
