Swollen joints after finger injury

Because the bones in the fingers are very thin, they are easily fractured and injured after being impacted by external force. Moreover, after a finger is fractured or injured, the joints will swell, and at the same time, the swollen joints will be accompanied by pain. However, pain in finger joints does not affect a person's physical health, it only affects a person's ability to live a normal life. Therefore, it is very necessary to treat the problem of swollen and painful finger joints.

1. First of all, finger joint pain will not endanger our lives, but the degree of pain is no less than toothache, and it will affect our daily life. Of course, if you have pain in your finger joints, in addition to preventing it before it occurs, you can also relieve the pain and treat it during the course of the disease.

2. There may be several reasons why this happens to your fingers. If your finger joint pain has this characteristic: before the pain starts, the finger joints are obviously red and swollen, and it is difficult to make a fist. When you are in pain, the more you pinch your fingers, the more painful it will be. That's caused by rheumatism.

3. Also, if the skin at the joints is relatively smooth and no fine lines can be seen, when it hurts, the more you knead the affected area, the more comfortable it will feel. At this time, we can cross the fingers of both hands together and rub them against each other until the skin becomes hot, which can relieve the pain.

Note: Of course, the above are the most common symptoms of finger joint pain. There is also pain caused by frostbite and pain caused by poisoning. Therefore, it is best to get a thorough examination and then receive scientific treatment. When your finger joints hurt, don't do heavy work and pay more attention to rest.
