What should I do if I have finger muscle pain?

Hands are a part of our body that we move on a daily basis. If the fingers are in active state for a long time, finger muscle or joint pain will occur, which will cause certain harm to the health of the hands. We should pay attention to proper rest and avoid excessive fatigue. Many people have finger muscle pain and don’t know what to do. What should we do if our finger muscles hurt? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. What should I do if my finger muscles hurt?

If you play with your phone for too long, your finger joints will move frequently and not get enough rest, which can lead to stenosing tenosynovitis, causing pain in multiple finger joints. If you have pain in your finger joints, it could be stenosing tenosynovitis of the finger flexor tendons. Patients with this disease experience pain when they bend or straighten their fingers. The movement of the fingers is not flexible and is restricted.

If you feel pain in your finger joints, you can go to the hospital for examination and treatment. If the patient has stenosing tenosynovitis of the finger flexor tendons, choose the treatment method suitable for the patient according to the condition. Early stage patients are more suitable for physical therapy or local blockade treatment. However, if the condition is more serious, surgical treatment may be required. The thickened stenotic ring is removed surgically. The disease may recur. If the disease recurs, it can be treated with surgery.

For people who often play with mobile phones, they need to give their fingers enough rest time.

2. Here are some ways to prevent the disease

1. When doing housework (such as washing clothes, cooking, knitting sweaters, cleaning, etc.), the fingers and wrists should not be bent too much or stretched backwards. Pay attention to the correct posture. When doing housework, you need to lift tools to a certain extent. If the tools are too heavy, you may hurt your fingers or wrists.

2. Working for a long time is bad for fingers and wrists. It is beneficial to rub these parts properly. After finishing work, you can soak your hands in hot water.

3. Hands should not be exposed to cold, so when washing clothes, try to use warm water, especially in winter. In winter, you should keep your hands warm by wearing gloves.

4. Some jobs require sitting at a desk for a long time. For these workers, it is not easy to maintain the correct posture, but workers still need to persist. When working at a desk, keep your hands balanced and your wrists not hanging in the air.

5. After frequently using your fingers, you can take a hot bath to relax the muscles around your finger joints. If you feel pain, you can relieve it by applying heat.

3. Reminder

People who often play with mobile phones are more likely to suffer from stenosing tenosynovitis of the finger flexor tendons. Finger joint pain is one of the symptoms of this disease.
