I've had this for about a fortnight, I can't curl my fingers closed on my right hand without some effort and a bit of pain. My hand has a funny feeling like I'm about to or just had pins and needles. It's worst in the mornings and especially today. I broke my right collar bone 8 weeks ago could it be something to do with that? Has anyone had anything like this, I'm worried it's the start of arthritis

Which fingers? It sounds like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome where a major nerve (median nerve) is being compressed as it enters the wrist. Yes it could be associated with your broken collar bone and there could be other causes of your symptoms, but the one I have mentioned is the most likely. No big deal. Don't worry. Get a routine appt with your GP.

It's all the fingers on my right hand.
Thanks Sqad
OK.....my original post still stands.
I suffered Carpal Tunnel Syndrome many years ago, I would agree with Sqads assessment. I am not qualified to offer a medical opinion
I've had carpal tunnel ops on both hands. A simple affair.
Yes! See your GP !
