Finger joint knots
Common Questions and Answers about Finger joint knots
finger
I have hard knots on both sides of 1st joint on several fingers. they are there always but sometimes get bigger and hurt so bad I can't hold a pen o write or even bend the 1st joints. Rhuem dr said this is OA. Does anyone know if it will get worse or spread to other fingers? I do not take meds for OA due to medical conditions I have I can't take anti-inflamatories or advil, motrin, etc. Dr is not interested in discussing OA only fibro and I need answers.
Thank you.
However it should be in your distal most joint of the middle finger.If the proximal joint of the finger is involved, early rheumatoid arthritis can be a third possibility (and age is not a criteria in this one).
A generalized body ache can be related to whether change also (especially when cold climate is present).So i would suggest you to take some NSAID's and wait.If it subsides,no need to see a specialist.However if the same persists, orthopaedician advice will be required.
Regards.

Hi I was told I had hyperthyroidism when I was 33 . I was given meds for that for a while till my head and body just fell apart. I was told the meds just was not working. So my thyroid doctor said he was going to make me hypo then he could control my thyroid better. Well He's the doctor so I said ok do it. Well thats was the beginning of my hell with hypothyroidism. I have been to many Doctors since then now i take 300 mg a day of levothyroxine And 350 mg of somas 4 times a day.
I am back and forth to the ER and family practice only to hear I have anxiety and acid reflux. I often get knots in my right chest and then heavy feelings of pressure and tightness. I have a hard time swallowing at times as well. Recently the pains have been traveling to my left foot area and on last week I woke up, my left middle finger was swollen ( I will say that finger was broken 3years back in the exact spot of the swelling but I've not had one problem with it since then).

Once a week or so my pinky finger and part of my hand and the tip of my ring finger on my right hand have a numb sensation. Not pins and needles, but like it just fell asleep and blood flow has not returned yet. I have tried massage, yoga and chiropractic treatments. Do you have any suggestions for further treatments? I hate taking medications, but at this point I am willing to try anything. Thank you for your time.
Hi,
For nearly three days now I have been suffering with what feels like a stiff shoulder, and when I move my arm in certain positions and tearing pain through my armpit, which is nothing short of extreme pain. Prior to getting this I had been experiencing muscular knots in my shoulders and back (by the shoulder blades) and since having this I have noticed its tender to the touch on my pectoral muscle on that side.
Two days ago i woke up with 2 knots on the wing part of my vagina....they were both very sensitive... But one of them now has gotten a lot bigger. It is hard and it hurts when i touch it. the other hurts but is not as bad and it doesnt have a head on it neither does the other one. I have never had a problem like this before and it has really scared me. I can put a finger on each side of the wing and it its a solid hard ball.
ve been having minor pain in the smallest joint on my fourth finger on my right hand. Because I work seven days a week during the school year, I never saw the doctor. But it started getting worse. It hurts, if my fist is closed, to bump the knuckle from above. It also hurts to stretch my fingers out (laying flat is okay, but if I try to stretch them at all, it hurts).
All of a sudden the piece of skin in between my thumb and finger has become stiff. I don't think it would be trigger finger but i might be wrong. It won't go either. What can I do? It's hard to stretch my thumb away from the hand and spread my fingers without it hurting.

m a house painter and recently brought my hand down onto the sharp point of one of my painting tools. It cut into the side if my rt hand middle finger, middle joint (between the knuckle and the lower joint) It bled a bit and swelled up of course. That was over two weeks ago. I still have noticable swelling in that joint, especially on the rt side, and considerable pain. The rest of my hand hurts lately, probably from compensating for the lack of use of the middle finger. Any ideas?

I have had trigger-finger surgery left middle due to repetative gripping action due to my occupation. I cannot extend finger backwards, cannot place fingers together, get incredible undesrible pain simply doing nothing. Sometimes pain shoots up inside of my palm through my forearm to elbow almost like electrical shock. It is swollen-surgery performed 2/15. I am following exercises doctor advised to no avail. Not on any medication except ibuprofen.
When there is a capsular injury to a joint in finger, it is best to give the RICE treatment for a few days such as rest, ice application, compression bandage (you can strap the injured finger with the neighboring finger) and elevation (keep hands elevated on a pillow at bed time). You can also take an anti-inflammatory pain killer. Once the injury settles down and there is less pain you have to start physiotherapy.
What happens to Hashi patients is some tend to get a build up of lactic acid in the muscles, or small muscle knots. These knots in turn, also put pressure on the nerves anywhere from the neck, shoulder or forearm causing a tingling or electrical shock sensation in the fingers.
An occupational therapist or physical therapist that understands how to manually remove muscle knotting via therapeutic massage would help a lot.
Ok I took a HIV antibody test at 5 weeks and 4 days and I got it back Tuesday the nurse said it was normal. But she did say I tested positive for hsv 1 which is herpes type 1 but it's wield bc I haven't had a blister in my mouth but only these knots in my mouth from biting my jaw and lip. I've been doing research and if at 3 months results are negative and I still have joint pain that stays in one place, hurts for a little bit then goes to another joint and so on.
any amount of swelling in a small joint such as a finger joint can cause quite a bit of discomfort. It sounds like you "jammed" the joint(s). It can take a long time to resolve. Like 6-9 months. You could try soaking it in hot water to loosen things up and try to pull and put tension on the finger to loosen up the joint. Pull the finger slowly, steadily, and gently straight out. I have found this can help loosen it up and relieve some pressure in the joint.
Recently my right thumb has started popping out of joint and won't bend all the way straight. I had carpal tunnel surgery on this hand in April of this year (5 months ago) and this hand has been bothering me ever since. But this last problem is really painful and scary at times. Yesterday I almost couldn't get the thumb to go back into joint, but it finally did after a few minutes. What could be causing this? Also since surgery, there are larger bumbs(knots) under my skin (palm area).
