What causes pain on the back of my right hand?

Many people find it strange that they have pain on the back of their right hand. Why does it only hurt on the right side? If it hurts on the right side, you must take it seriously, because the pain on the back of the right hand may not only be caused by fatigue, but may also be caused by thrombophlebitis. Thrombophlebitis is a relatively common vascular disease, which is very harmful to people. If you have persistent pain on the back of your hand, you need to go to the hospital for examination in time.

Thromboangiitis obliterans is a common peripheral vascular disease. It is a periodic, segmental inflammatory lesion occurring in arteries and veins and is very harmful. It often occurs in the blood vessels of the limbs, especially in the lower limbs. So what are the symptoms of thromboangiitis obliterans? Let's take a look at the symptoms of thromboangiitis obliterans.

Symptoms of thromboangiitis obliterans 1. Body pain Pain is the most prominent symptom of thromboangiitis obliterans. In the early stages, blood vessels spasm, and the blood vessel walls and surrounding tissues are stimulated, and the affected limb will experience pain, tingling, numbness, burning, etc.; as the disease progresses, the arteries of the affected limb become narrower and narrower, which will cause ischemic pain. Patients with mild symptoms will experience intermittent claudication when walking, while patients with severe symptoms will feel pain even when resting and experience resting pain. If the patient develops ulcers, infections, etc., the pain will be aggravated.

2. Color change: Due to severe ischemia, the skin color of the affected limbs of patients with thromboangiitis obliterans looks very pale, especially when the limbs are too high. Press the fingertips (toes) of the affected limb with your fingers. If the skin or nail bed remains pale or purple 5 seconds after releasing the pressure, it indicates insufficient blood supply to the arteries. In addition, some patients may develop Raynaud's syndrome when exposed to cold stimulation or emotional fluctuations, and the skin of the fingers and toes of the affected limbs will appear pale, cyanotic, and flushed intermittently.

In addition, the patient's affected limb is cold, the skin temperature is low, and the patient is afraid of cold and is very sensitive to the cold outside. The affected limb has limb nutritional disorders, and weakened or disappeared limb arterial pulsation is also a common symptom of thromboangiitis obliterans.
