Why does the base of my hand hurt?

As living standards improve, people are suffering from more and more diseases. Some people work too hard or overdraw their bodies, which leads to worsening health. The symptoms are mainly reflected in the hands and feet, such as pain in the hand joints, pain in the base of the hand, pain in the heels, etc. In addition to long-term pressure and trauma, there are many other reasons for the pain in the base of the hand. Let's take a look at the reasons for the pain in the base of the hand.

1. Consider a case of tenosynovitis, which may also be caused by injury, overstrain (especially in the hands and fingers), osteoarthritis, some immune diseases, or even infection. Symptoms include joint pain and morning stiffness. Usually, the feeling of morning joint stiffness is most obvious after getting up, and the symptoms will not be significantly relieved with frequent activities. The affected joints are swollen and even snap, and joint movement is impaired. Reduce finger activity in the early stage to allow the area to rest; massage and acupuncture have certain effects; injecting hydrocortisone acetate, triamcinolone acetate or prednisolone acetate into the tendon sheath for local sealing has a better effect

2. Usually the most common reason for this situation is fatigue. If there are no other related symptoms, you can consider some physical therapy, including massage, hot compress therapy, etc. In addition, in this case, it is recommended to go to the orthopedic department for a special examination.

3. The base of the thumb is innervated by the radial nerve. Injury to the radial nerve will cause symptoms of numbness and pain in the base of the thumb. You can take some methylcobalamin tablets, Hulisan and other medicines that can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, relax muscles and tendons, and nourish nerves, and combine them with external application of plasters, acupuncture and other methods for comprehensive treatment. In daily life, you should strengthen functional exercise, pay attention to keeping warm, avoid eating raw, cold, spicy and greasy foods, and avoid excessive fatigue.

4. It may be Feng Shui edema. It is recommended to check the upper limb lymph nodes. It is not a big deal and will heal on its own after a while. Considering your description, I mainly recommend taking the above-mentioned examinations to rule out the possibility of lymph node inflammation. It's not a big deal and it will get better after a while. I hope my answer can help you. Thank you.

5. The possibility of arthritis cannot be ruled out. You can apply the analgesic ointment topically and then take calcium supplements and do necessary local exercises.
