Inaccessible processes in the body with age are the cause of various diseases.The degenerative process affects the joints, leading to sensations, deformations and other unpleasant manifestations.Usually in older people, finger joints -pain, finger motor function is interrupted.In the presence of such symptoms, it is necessary to seek medical help to identify the causes and prescribe subsequent pathological treatment.
Features -The anatomy of anatomy
There are more than 300 joints in the human skeleton.The smallest articular device is located on the finger.The joint surface is small, the connective shell is thin.Due to the features of structural anatomy, these joints are more vulnerable to pathology.
The joints are bone joints with connective tissue, consisting of joint cavity filled with synovial fluid, hyalin cartilage, synovial shell and bourgeon (articular bag).Fingers are formed from three phalanges - proximal, simple and distal.Each phalanx is connected to the following using the joint.
The appearance of joint pain can indicate a serious disease in the body.
Reason for appearance
Pain in the joints varies with intensity and localization.There are two types of pain: mechanical and inflammation, which can be provoked:
- Rheumatoid arthritis.Accompanied by morning pain.
- Psoriatic arthritis.It affects the skin tissue, an unpleasant sensation is localized in the distal phalanx.Swelling appears, changes in the color of the skin (redness with the thumb) in the thumb.
- Infectious arthritis.It is accompanied by intense long pain (up to a few days).Local hyperthermia is observed, heat and chills are possible.
- Gouty attacks.The public is subject to older age categories because the metabolic process is affected in the body.Characterized by burning pain in the field of pathology.
- Osteoarthrosis.It develops in women due to age -related hormone disorders.The clinical picture is a pain syndrome in the finger, a change in the anatomical structure of the finger (thickening of the joint).
- Ligamentitis with stenostering, the same in the clinical picture with arthritis and arthrosis, affects the joint ring -shaped ligaments.The movement of the brush and fingers hurts.
- Tunnel Syndrome.Pain appears on the index finger of the left hand.
Rizartrosis can also cause finger pain.It develops with overstrain background, infectious processes, injuries or severe poisoning.
Pain complicates the implementation of simple movements in everyday life and at work.
Disease
Finger joints hurt the following disease:
- Arthritis of rheumatoid genesis.The most common pathology affects the small joints.With this disease, the joints of the upper toes are affected.The process of inflammation is observed, dense growth is felt in palpation - nodules.The course of the disease is rotating with attacks with remission.In advanced circumstances, the hands are defective.
- Osteoarthrosis and polyosteoarthrosis - diseases are more commonly observed in women over 40. The cause is a violation of the body's hormone background (reducing estrogen hormone production), heredity, excessive load and other factors.With pathology, the finger joints are defective.
- Gout develops with the background of metabolic disorders (protein metabolism), and uric acid salts accumulate in the joints.In the first stage of the pathology, the fingers are affected, and then hands.It is accompanied by severe pain, swelling and changes in skin color in the inflammation area.Pathology is more often subject to men over 40.
Another
Depending on the pathology, the finger joints can hurt in the morning.Movement can be included by clicking features (symptoms of arthritis).In the phalanx area of the index and the ring finger, the inflammation develops.
Joints can hurt in the morning with gout.The process of inflammation develops in the thumb, the clinical picture is accompanied by swelling, changes in skin color.
Signs of various pathologies can be painful in the finger joints after sleep.During pregnancy, sharp hormone changes in the female body can cause pain.
Naturation occurs in people of all ages.These symptoms complicate the normal lifestyle.Timely appeals to a specialist will help prevent complications.The reason -the numbness can work:
- pressure;
- cervical spinal osteochondrosis;
- pathology of the vascular system;
- Carpal valve syndrome - pinching the wrist nerves leads to circulation and impaired blood circulation, resulting in numbness.
Diagnostic method
With the pathology of the joints, the following symptoms are observed:
- the process of deformation in the field of inflammation;
- Palpation pain;
- Intensive illness syndrome;
- redness of the skin;
- Hyperthermia;
- difficulty of movement;
- inflammation and swelling process near the affected area;
- appearance of nodules around the joints;
- Pain attacks are like waves, intense at night and not important - during the day.
After preliminary examination, laboratory and hardware methods to examine the patient are performed:
- biochemical blood tests;
- General blood tests and urine;
- radiographic examination;
- MRI;
- Blood is examined for the presence of rheumatoid factors, antibody antibody, purins.
A neglected pathological condition can cause defects, so pain cannot be ignored.Therefore, the finger joints hurt other pathologies, so when symptoms appear, it is necessary not to slow down the doctor.
Treatment
After diagnosis, medical steps are prescribed.Classical treatment of all diseases, when joints in the finger, is based on taking medication.Therapy is intended to remove the main symptoms of fingerprint disease on the arm: inflammation and pain.Show LFK and therapeutic massage.
Medication
Drug treatment includes: painkillers, anti -non -ssteroid (NSAIDs), with autoimmune pathology - hormones, local medicine - gel, ointment, cream.
Appoint:
- NSAIDs;
- corticosteroid drugs;
- Local medicine.
In the case of an emergency, when the pain syndrome is very severe, medications are used.
If necessary, medicines that restore cartilage tissue are prescribed.
Training and massage therapy
A set of training was selected by a specialist.LFC strengthens the finger joints, improves blood circulation, accelerates the recovery process in the affected area.
The massage session is conducted during the remission period (during the acute period, it is not recommended to do so).Massage procedures increase blood supply, reduce pain and swelling.
A comprehensive approach to pathological treatment will allow you to return to the normal lifestyle in no time.

Folklore
