Pain in finger joints

There are many joints in the human body, such as finger joints, wrist joints, leg joints, ankle joints and so on. Under normal circumstances, these joints behave very friendly, but sometimes for unknown reasons, they will no longer behave so friendly, and will be accompanied by varying degrees of pain, which makes our body very uncomfortable. However, after treatment by a doctor, they will return to their previous state, for example: pain in the finger joints.

In our lives, we often experience pain in our finger joints. It may be caused by work or physical labor, collision with heavy objects, or catching a cold. But whenever my finger joints hurt, it is extremely unbearable and rubbing doesn't help. So what should we do when we encounter finger joint pain?

To be honest, finger joint pain will not endanger our lives, but the pain is no less severe than toothache and will affect our daily life. Of course, if you have pain in your finger joints, in addition to preventing it before it occurs, you can also relieve the pain and treat it during the course of the disease. Here I will share with you the dialectical method of symptoms and corresponding treatment methods for finger joint pain.

One is gout-type finger joint pain. This type of finger joint pain has the following characteristics: before the pain occurs, the finger joints are obviously red and swollen, and it is difficult to clench the hands into a fist. When you are in pain, the more you pinch your fingers, the more painful it will be. This is the result of urate accumulation in the finger joints due to high uric acid levels in the patient's body. Treatment should start with eliminating excess uric acid in the body. You can pour out an appropriate amount of warm water, the temperature of which should be around 40 degrees. Completely immerse the painful finger joint in water. Then gently snap your fingers together without using force. This will speed up blood circulation, thereby breaking up the urate accumulated in the finger joints and relieving pain. After an emergency, you should seek medical attention promptly.

The other type is rheumatic finger joint pain. This type of finger joint pain is not very acute, but is accompanied by a feeling of numbness and soreness. The skin at the joints is relatively bright and no fine lines can be seen. When it hurts, the more you knead the affected area, the more comfortable it will be. This is because the patient's finger joints are invaded by dampness and cannot be eliminated in time. The treatment should focus on dredging the dampness. First, cross the fingers of both hands together and rub them against each other until the skin becomes hot. Then take a piece of ginger, cut it into slices, and apply the ginger slices to the affected area. Then pinch each finger joint a few times. This is mainly because the ginger juice can play a role in removing dampness, and the pain will be relieved, but it cannot cure the root cause. In the end, acupuncture or medication are still needed for treatment.

The two conditions of finger joint pain described above are relatively common, in addition to those introduced above. In daily life, people may also suffer from finger joint pain due to finger collision or poisoning. Therefore, when you encounter pain in your finger joints, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up first to find out what is causing the pain in your finger joints, and then receive symptomatic treatment. This will achieve the best results.
