You wake up in the middle of the night, obviously in pain. You roll around, trying to get comfortable, but can’t. You get up, searching for anything that might ease your pain.
It doesn’t happen overnight, but as time goes on, the answer becomes clear: You have a persistent pain in a particular part of your body. Shooting pains can develop for many reasons in the arms, hands, wrists, and fingers. Because your arms and hands are important for daily activity, it’s important to determine the root cause of these pains and receive treatment as soon as possible.
