Knuckle pain relief
Common Questions and Answers about Knuckle pain relief
finger
Usually it starts with me rubbing it and the more i rub it the intense it gets but at the same time offers me relief. I dont have any pain on the top of my hands over the knuckle areas at all. The pain is only localized to my knuckle area and does not spread through the fingers or upper arms. There is no reddness or swelling. I am still able to use my hands when in this condition without discomfort except for if i have to make a fist or something...
I am having terrible pain in middle knuckle on both hands. First noticed the pain a number of years ago after driving metal fence posts in the ground with a large hammer. Pain now id severe. Finger will functin if knuckle is flat. To touch them, bump them or bend the intendified the now constant pain. Does anyone have a suggestion?
I posted prior about pain in my knuckle starting in my left index finger knuckle. Since then, in early January of this year it transferred to the opposite knuckle. I went in to get tests done and they came back negative for RA, OA, and gout. Everything looked good on the x-rays and there was no cartilage worn down on the joints. Since I got it tested, the pain has continued to transfer to surrounding knuckles but not to the same pain level as the original left index finger knuckle.

For the pain DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide) a cousin of MSM will produce faster relief, however, it has to be a 30% solution with distilled or filtered water over very clean areas. Multiple fine applications work better.
Available at farm supply and vet. supply shops. Not FDA approved for humans, but I have been using this for years! No problems.
Neck line and above it must be only 10% DMSO and 90% water,
because of the lipids in the neck and head.
If I end up needing to go with a cortisone injection into my knuckle in order to reap longer term relief of the chronic inflammation, am I signing up for significantly increased fluid retention (and subsequently water weight) for the next few months/duration of relief? I'd like to know as I monitor my weight for any unusual changes for other reasons. Thank you!

You may have severely bruised the bone, or fractured it by the force that went on the hand as you landed.
An xray of the hand would be able to show whether you have caused damage to the bone.
In the meantime strap the middle finger to the two either side to immobilise it. You can apply a lot of natural yogurt to that part and lightly bandage it. This helps by drawing out the inflammation.
Keep your weight off that hand too until it is fully healed.
when i grip anything with my right hand, like scissors or any hand tool, and squeeze, i get a sharp pain in my middle knuckle, i noticed it about a year ago, it was not bad at all at first, but over the last week its become a constant. all other knuckles on both hands are fantastic otherwise,im dont recall any injury or reason why this is happening, any ideas?
thank you.
ve been reading for a few days now comments about OA and Fibro and actually I got a feeling of some kind relief with my pain and its toll on my body and mind. I first notice OA and found that I had it about 25 to 30 years ago. For years I just thought everybody hurt like I did, my feet would ache then my hips, wrist, shoulders. I noticed other people having issues with their body parts and doing the same thing I was doing. (pills) I never did like the pills because of the bm side effect.
For over 1 year now I have had excessive stomach bloating, constipation, gas, lower back pain and almost clear urine. The dr.'s don't have any answers. A CT was just done with contrast and iodine iv, no significant results. A small stone was found near my kidney, but they don't seem to think much of it. I am doubled over in pain, have not had a bowel movement without laxative in months and even with the laxative only a small amount comes out. I am 49 years old and female.
I still suggest you follow the RICE protocol. It may offer some pain relief and avoid any injury to the part. And you certainly need to have a CT or MRI of your hand. When you had surgery on this hand something could have been disturbed that is now "acting" up. There are just so many things it could be that you should consult with your PCP. He or she can direct you to the correct specialist for a final diagnosis.
One year post op I went to a different doctor for a second opinion. I was in constant pain at this point with little to no relief. He repeated the contract MRI, x-rays and did a CT scan. Aside from an obvious suture anchor nothing abnormal was seen in my hip. He thought maybe a hip exploratory was needed but I wasn't ready to go that route at that time. I did several months of PT with no improvement.
i had a total middle knuckle replacement on my right hand the knuckle that forms a fist, i had more range of motion with my old arthritis knuckle that i was born with, i will not never ever have another knuckle replacement i will keep the joints i was born with , i would rather have them because they have more range of motion and the silicone knuckle only provided 45 degrees of motion, if you go beyond that it will break, I regret having this operation, because i was better off with the knuckle
2 weeks ago I got a thorn in my knuckle. I pulled it out and a pain shot across my knuckle. It was very red, hot and swollen. The day after I went to the Dr’s who put me on anti biotics for a week, flucloxacillin. The swelling and redness reduced. Now it is slightly swollen with a lot of pain in the joint of my finger, all around it, where I touch the knuckle, or use my hand , I feel. It . How long might this pain last ?
This is due to me constantly hitting hard surfaces. i have no pain in that particular finger or knuckle or any part of the hand but i cant fully raise my right ring finger. It gets to about half way and i cannot raise it anymore unless i force it up with my other hand. Apart from that i have full use of my right hand and no pain in or around the knuckle or finger. Any ideas whats wrong??
I have had pain in the main knuckle of the middle finger. I cannot pinpoint the exact cause of the injury. about six weeks ago I noticed shooting pain when i pushed the middle finger laterally while isolated from the other fingers across the sides of the knuckle. I also feel sharp pain when making a tight fist in the main knuckle or gripping my hand tightly around the grip on a weight.
I work with my hands a lot and more times than not my hands are very sore. The worst part is the joint or knuckle below my thumb. The only way to get temporary relief is to have my fiance crack it. I have tried not doing that in case that was the problem, but the pain builds until it's almost impossible to do things normally. Any ideas anyone. Thank you in advance.
2 days ago I suddenly devoped pain in my left index finger at the knuckle. I can touch it and its ok, but if I move it at all in any direction, it hurts pretty bad. Late yesterday it started hurting some in the knuckle where my finger joins my hand, top and bottom. Its sore feeling in that area when I touch it. A vein on the right side of the finger is bulging out some and it seems to be slightly swollen. I can bend it, it just hurts.
