What's wrong with swollen and painful finger joints?

Nowadays, many people suffer from swollen and painful finger joints, especially older people. Most of those who suffer from swollen finger joints are women. Swollen and painful finger joints are caused by not paying attention to protecting the fingers in the early stage. So what are the reasons for swollen and painful finger joints? Let me introduce it to you below.

1. Joint osteoarthritis: It often occurs in the finger joints, but can also occur in the joints between the fingers. It usually occurs in older people, usually over 40 years old, first appearing on one or several fingers, and then affecting other fingers. The affected joints may become red, swollen and painful. Joint stiffness is common in the morning.

2. 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, etc.

3. Bone hyperplasia is a common cause of swollen and painful finger joints. Common sites of the disease are the knees, fingers, neck, lumbar spine, etc. The main symptoms are joint pain and stiffness (the pain will be relieved after slight activity). In severe cases, joint swelling and muscle atrophy may occur.

4. The symptoms may be caused by aseptic inflammation of the joints due to long-term cold, humidity, fatigue, malnutrition, trauma, etc. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital to check their rheumatic factors to rule out the possibility of rheumatism.

Finger joint pain and the harm of rheumatoid arthritis are factors that cannot be ignored. The disease is a common and frequently occurring disease in life. It is a type of autoimmune disease, mainly characterized by joint lesions, causing pain and swelling in multiple joints such as the hands, wrists, and feet. In the early stages, there are redness, swelling, heat, pain, and dysfunction in the joints. In the late stages, the joints may become stiff and deformed to varying degrees, accompanied by atrophy of bones and skeletal muscles, which can easily cause disability.

Finger flexibility can be improved through exercise. Some finger exercises are specifically designed to promote blood circulation in the fingers and prevent premature aging, so you must pay attention to your daily finger activities. Another thing is that if you find that your finger joints are difficult to move, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid missing the best treatment time.
