Knuckle problems, what s wrong with finger joints?

Carpal tunnel syndrome.

Long-term, intensive, repetitive and excessive movement of the wrist joint, which gradually causes damage to the wrist joint, including numbness, headache, dizziness, tinnitus, and muscle soreness, numbness and spasms in the knuckles, wrists, shoulders, neck and back. This can lead to nerve damage, which can lead to muscle atrophy in the hand. It is also easier for women than for men, because women's wrists are smaller than men's, and the median nerve in the wrist is more susceptible to compression.

In severe cases, you may suffer from "carpal tunnel syndrome". Here's a simple way to tell: when you're done typing and straighten the fingertips of your left hand and feel a jiggle in your fingertips, you can "congratulate" you on having the precursor to this syndrome.

Also, your back is numb from time to time, which are common occupational diseases of typists.

Among them, with the popularity of laptops, there are more and more laptop users, and with it, there are more and more patients with "notebook syndrome". These laptop users will suffer from persistent problems such as back pain, shoulder pain, wrist pain, and neck pain. The crux of these health problems lies in the laptop's design being flawed, with the keyboard and display being too close to each other.

A study in the United States showed that laptop users often complained of pain in different parts of their body compared to desktop computer users. This is because desktop computer users can adjust the monitor to a horizontal position and place the keyboard 20 inches below the monitor, which is the ideal position to operate.

In fact, the results of a new study in the United States show that if adult men do not develop the correct habit of using laptops, it may affect their reproductive health. According to the researchers, men are better off not carrying their laptops on their laps, but rather on a table.

Or is it inside the joint?

You have to distinguish first!

There are many causes of finger joint pain, including trauma, infection, rheumatic diseases, as well as flexor tenosynovitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.

Disease ** element. Injuries or infections that involve the joints.

Trauma. Such as fracture and dislocation caused by falls, blows, punctures, sprains, finger capsular ligament injuries, etc.

Infect. Infectious inflammation caused by bacteria, fungi or viruses in the synovium or periarticular tissues. The pathogen may enter the body as a result of local injury or may spread hematogenously to the finger joints and is related to the patient's immune status.

Rheumatic diseases.

This is a large group of conditions,** but they all affect the joints and the tissues around them, causing joint pain. Common ones include rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, etc., and in addition to joint pain, there are also manifestations of other organ system involvement.

Gout is an endocrine and metabolic disease, divided into primary and secondary, and is arthritis caused by purine metabolism disorders and decreased uric acid excretion.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of the joints that occurs due to a number of factors, including degeneration, destruction and hyperplasia of cartilage.

Otherwise, rarely.

For example, finger joint pain related to blood diseases, drug-related finger joint pain (clearly related to medication).

Disorders that do not directly involve the finger joints.

Patients will have a complaint of "finger joint pain" that needs to be differentiated from the conditions listed above.

Flexor tendonosynovitis: movement of the finger joints can induce pain.

Carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, and cervical spondylosis (such as cervical disc herniation): hand pain can also be present.

Hand masses, such as glomusomas.

Unexplained nonspecific finger joint pain, such as complex regional pain syndrome after hand trauma.

Pain in the joints of the fingers, inability to make fists in the morning, thick knuckles. This is a condition of arthritis, or it may be rheumatoid arthritis, and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate is tested.

Finger joints are deformed, and there may be tired rheumatoid arthritis.

Listen to the doctor for any advice you have.

Analysis: Joint pain may be caused by arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or gout, and joint pain may also occur due to overwork in life, and joint pain may be caused by overwork.

Suggestions: We should pay attention to rest more in life, try to do a good job of keeping joints warm, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest in life.

The vast majority of rheumatoid patients begin with swollen joints. Joints tend to be spindle-shaped or fusiform swelling, and the severity of joint pain usually parallels the degree of swelling, with more pronounced joint swelling and more severe pain. During the examination, it is important to pay attention to the presence of spontaneous pain and movement pain.

Spontaneous pain, i.e., pain in a quiet and natural position when the joint is moving, and sometimes even waking up from sleep, indicates that the lesion develops rapidly or acutely and is more severe; Movement pain is felt when the joint is moved (moved), which indicates that the inflammation of the joint is relatively mild or tends to be relieved. The degree of joint pain can generally be divided into self-reported pain, mild tenderness, and severe tenderness. Rheumatoid arthralgia is characterized by relief with activity and worsening at the beginning of activity after rest, such as difficulty in standing and walking after prolonged sitting; The fingers and elbows are bent for too long, and after they are straightened, they are painful and so on.

However, these phenomena lessen after a short period of activity, and gradually move more freely, and the pace of walking can be accelerated. When joint stiffness and swelling and pain are severe, the patient partially or completely loses the ability to take care of himself. Joint pain worsens in the morning, at night, in rainy weather, cold, cold, especially colds and diarrhea.

On examination, joint swelling and pain can be seen, and most of the parts are not red, and they are natural; There are also redness or purple, which is more common in children with swollen toe or finger joints. Rheumatoid joints are red, swollen, hot, and painful, and generally not as pronounced as rheumatoid arthritis. Warm, tender, or overtly tender joints to the touch.

There is also a fluctuating sensation in joint effusion, especially in the knee joint, and the phenomenon of floating patella may occur. Swollen joints of the limbs are most easily detected, while swelling of the shoulders and hips is not easily visible or palpable, but swelling and tenderness can occur in sternoclavicular and peck-process joints. Joint swelling and how long it lasts can be used as an indicator of diagnosis.

Hand Joints:

These include the radial carpal joint, the carpal interosseous joint, the metacarpophesal joint, the metacarpal joint, the metacarpophalangeal joint, and the interphalangeal joint.

Hand joint radial carpal joint: also known as wrist joint, composition: articular head - proximal articular surface of the scaphoid bone, lunate and triangular bone; Articular fossa - the articular surface of the carpal articular surface of the radius and the articular disc below the ulnar head. Characteristics: The joint capsule is relaxed, and the ligaments are strengthened anteriorly, anteriorly, and on both sides.

The joints of the fingers will be swollen and painful due to high uric acid, and the intake of high-purine foods, such as seafood and beer, should be strictly prohibited. Finger joints can also become thicker and larger because many people like to wrench their fingers, which is very unsightly, so this bad habit should be eliminated.

Hands are used in daily life and study, and finger joints are prone to bone hyperplasia, gouty arthritis and other problems.

Finger joints are most susceptible to tenosynovitis, gouty arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and bone hyperplasia. It is mainly caused by excessive use of hands. Improper use of hands for a long time is prone to finger bulging.

Stiffness in the wrist area. Bone hyperplasia of the fingers. How can this be solved?

In cold weather, it is necessary to pay attention to the warmth of the hand joints, and massage regularly to promote blood circulation. In terms of diet, eat more foods that are high in protein, calcium, and minerals. Develop the habit of going to bed early and waking up early to ensure the coordination of the endocrine system.

It is very important to develop a good habit of using your hands, and we must take good care of it.

Finger joints due to long-term holding of the pen, knocking on the keyboard, playing mobile phone, or maintaining a posture for a long time will appear sore, sore, inflamed, black, as if there is water in it, etc., usually we must move our fingers more, you can massage each knuckle to let them get rest, cold weather should also pay attention to its warmth measures, apply more hand cream.

The joint between the arm and forearm is called the "elbow joint".

The joint between the thigh and calf is called the "knee joint". (The "knee" is just the colloquial name for the "patella" in front of the knee joint).

The joint between the finger and the back of the hand is called the metacarpal joint.

The joints between the finger segments are collectively called "interphalangeal joints", and are subdivided into proximal interphalangeal joints (the part between two longer bones) and distal interphalangeal joints.
