Pain in finger joints when sleeping at night

Children love to play and chase each other. Adults need to work and study. As the saying goes, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. During a day's activities, we are bound to get bumps and bruises. But because our attention is more distracted during the day, we may not notice it. Just like some kids. I am particularly energetic during the day. He ran around here and there, seemingly having endless energy. But wait till night when I lie in bed. I felt sore all over and couldn't sleep. That's exactly the situation. Some adults are like this too. Some people experience pain in their finger joints when they sleep at night. What is going on?

It could be arthritis in your fingers. Finger arthritis is a symptom of osteoarthritis.

The interphalangeal joints are most commonly affected, especially the distal interphalangeal joints. Swelling, pain and tenderness are not obvious and rarely affect joint movement. The characteristic change is the appearance of bone hyperplasia and the formation of hard nodules on the inner and outer sides of the back of the finger joints. The nodules located at the distal interphalangeal joints are called Heberden's nodes, and those located at the proximal interphalangeal joints are called Bouchard's nodes. This nodule develops slowly. Only a few patients will eventually develop flexion or exotropia of the distal phalangeal joint. When the first carpometacarpal joint is affected and bone hyperplasia occurs, a "square" hand is formed. This deformity is rare in Chinese people.

Arthritis can be divided into primary and secondary types. The cause of primary osteoarthritis cannot be found, while secondary osteoarthritis develops into osteoarthritis based on the original disease. There are many diseases, including congenital joint dysplasia, childhood joint diseases, trauma, various metabolic diseases and various intra-articular inflammations that promote cartilage breakdown, and their common pathway is osteoarthritis. ,

1. Symptoms

Symptoms of finger osteoarthritis. Experts say: Osteoarthritis of the hands is the most common, and there are many symptoms, which have a certain impact on the patient's fingers, so pay attention to observe finger osteoarthritis and treat it in time. Patients usually develop bony nodules on the dorsal side of the distal interphalangeal joints of the fingers, called Heberden's nodes. Similar nodules then appear at the proximal interphalangeal joints, called Bucard's nodes. Due to nodular hyperplasia, the segments of the fingers may deviate to the ulnar or radial side, forming snake-like fingers.

Bony nodules are generally painless, appearing singly at first and then gradually increasing in number. Hand fatigue or exposure to cold water may induce pain or symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain or tenderness of the soft tissue around the nodule.

In severe cases, finger joints may become deformed.

Prevention methods

Finger arthritis often occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, with a slow onset and often affecting multiple joints.
