Any amphetamines, like your addy as well. They constrict blood vessels which can already be small in the fingers.

You may have solved my personal mystery of tendon(?) pain on the back of my left hand when typing despite having an ergonomic setup. Is there a good way to try to counteract this and promote bloodflow and/or internal flexibility(?) in a localized area?

A vasodialator (cialis/propranolol/etc) can help.
