What causes finger pain, what causes finger joint pain

We should pay attention to the phenomenon of finger pain. The most common symptom of gout is finger pain. There is also rheumatic finger pain, long-term strain, bacterial infection, etc. If finger pain occurs, we must find out the cause and it is best to do corresponding examinations.

1. Gout-related finger joint pain This type of finger joint pain is caused by high uric acid levels in the body, which causes urate accumulation in the finger joints and causes pain. Generally speaking, this type of finger joint pain will be preceded by obvious redness and swelling in the finger joints, and difficulty in clenching the hand into a fist.

2. Rheumatic finger joint pain. The pain is caused by the invasion of dampness into the finger joints, which cannot be eliminated in time. The pain in the finger joints caused by this reason is not very acute, but is accompanied by a feeling of numbness and soreness. When it hurts, kneading the affected area will be more comfortable.

3. Suppurative arthritis caused by bacterial infection, rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis caused by autoimmune or allergic reactions, gouty arthritis caused by metabolic disorders and traumatic arthritis caused by trauma can also cause finger joint pain.

4. Long-term strain People who engage in various manual operations for a long time will suffer from severe strain on their finger joints, which will cause pain in the finger joints.

5. Finger joint injuries. Finger muscles and joints are prone to injuries during exercise. For example, when grabbing or catching the ball in basketball, the fingers collide vertically with the ball, causing the fingers to be impacted by external force and causing finger joint injuries, resulting in pain and swelling in the finger joints.

6. Many people are in the habit of bending their fingers whenever they have nothing to do, and they make a crackling sound. This habit of bending fingers frequently for a long time will cause traction and stimulation to the ligaments and joint capsules of the knuckles, which may cause acute injury to the ligaments around the joints, leading to pain in the finger joints.

7. What to do if you have finger joint pain? When finger joint pain occurs, you must first find out what causes it. If it is a finger joint injury caused by sports, you can use cold compresses within 24 hours, hot compresses after 24 hours, massage and other measures to relieve it, and it can generally recover quickly; if the finger joint pain is caused by disease factors, it is best to seek medical attention in time, and then treat the symptoms.
