Clindamycin is an antibiotic useful for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections. This includes middle ear infections, bone or joint infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, strep throat, pneumonia, and endocarditis among others. It can be useful against some cases of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
Finger joints may also be prone to injury, especially during sports. Joint pain in the fingers is also a common symptom of both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. In fact, rheumatoid arthritis â which affects most active joints in the body â generally starts at the fingers where the joints are more delicate.
Digits like the fingers are the first to be affected by such a disease. Arthritis in the fingers can also put pressure on the joints, constricting nerves and vessels which can lead to the fingers feeling numb. Some diseases will cause the digits to feel numb as they begin to affect the body.
