Unexplained pain in little finger

Introduction According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine meridians, the fingertips of the five fingers have acupoints, and they are closely related to the internal organs. If there is a fingertip that feels particularly painful, it indicates that there is something wrong with the internal organs associated with this acupoint. People with small finger pain have problems with the heart or small intestine. On the side of the ring finger, the fingertips of the little finger have less punch points and the other side has Shaoze points. Shao Chong is closely related to the heart, so when you have a heart attack, press the fingertips of the little finger to ease the attack. Shaoze is the meridian point of the small intestine. When the small intestine is not good, you can press the fingertip.

Cause

Excluding trauma, it may be a problem in the heart or small intestine. The little finger corresponds to the heart and small intestine meridians, the main kidney, and the circulatory system. Little finger pain, suggesting kidney and small bowel disease, may be accompanied by frequent urination, urgency, backache, diarrhea and other symptoms, such patients can often press the little finger of both hands.
