1157646 tn?1343967128 Since then the pain hasnt really ever gone away and the dr has said it looks very much like im getting the early stages of arthritis in the joints in my finger. He advised me to just try over the counter paracetamol to see if that helps control the pain. The paracetamol really doesnt help and I cant get back into the dr until march 12th. Are there any home remedies to try to keep the pain at bay until my appt??
Avatar n tn Sounds like this might be "trigger finger". Does the finger stay down when you open your hand?? There is a simple procedure to repair trigger finger. With just a local shot the doctor cuts a tiny slit in the crease of your palm, then cuts the tube that holds the tendon and releases it. Two stiches later you are good to go. It will take about 6 months for the tenderness to go away. Mine is still a bit stiff but at lease I have full use of it.

Avatar f tn Arthritis?? Have skiers thumb for about a month. Woke up in morning and index finger on my dominant right hand was swollen and painful when bending. Does arthritis have flare ups or is this permanent..I have a history of psorasis and was wondering if it could be psoriatic arthritis?? Should I keep it exercise or immobilized??
Avatar m tn //www.healthline.com/health/trigger-finger Rheumatoid Arthritis can also cause these symptoms as you know. https://www.assh.org/handcare/condition/rheumatoid-arthritis See your doctor. They will examine your hands. Then take X rays and if they suspect RA, do blood work to confirm. It's treatable. So either way, you should see your doctor. Do Nsaids help at all?

Avatar n tn Hi there- have had a swollen finger for about four days- no injury. been taking mobic and tylenol arthritis . not much improvement. went to dr. today and he prescribed me prednisione. but my bp was high and that was kind of upsetting. can an arthritic flare, if thats what it is, make your bp jump? thanks.
Avatar m tn I have treated twice for Hep C once for 15 mo standard Interferon and Rib, second time for 7 mo with addition of Alinia stopping Jan of 09. I have severe loss of finger joint movement in both hands. started 3 or 4 months after final treatment. My ortho guy doesn't see any structural damage or signs of arthritis .Could there be tie to the Hep C or treatment??
Avatar f tn I am looking for natural arthritis remedies for a 10 year old chihuahua. I read somewhere that blackstrap molasses works wonders for arthritis pain in dogs. I also heard of extra virgin coconut oil and apple cider vinegar. I am really tempted to mix all these and give it a try. Has anyone tried these? or are there any other natural remedies? My dog has been on metacam but it doesn't work very well, I can tell she is still in pain.
Avatar m tn I have swelling in fingers and wrists and pain in ankles and hips. Hand, wrist, and finger pain was affecting every day life. I was sent for a bone scan and arthritis was found in all of those joints. I also was testing positive for active mono (not sick at all) and syphillis, but the actual STD test was negative. Also have my Dad's mom had RA. Does this sound like the onset of RA? I am a 35 year old female.
Avatar m tn I am 33, never had a memorable injury to this finger, and no other finger or body joints are a problem. I am going to schedule an appointment with a Rheumatologist today, as I have the feeling the Ortho will let me down tomorrow. Does this sound like arthritis? Could this be something like reactive arthritis, despite having no other real substantial symptoms(like UTI or eye problems)? Any help is appreciated.
Avatar n tn I'm not sure about the molasses, but the dose for coconut oil (Organic) is 1 tsp. per 10lbs. Start with a low dose and work up to that... I know that molasses is used for it's Vitamin/Trace Mineral Content, but not sure about anti-inflammatory properties.... If your 14 yr. old is really suffering, your Vet should prescribe Medication for Arthrititis....These natural remedies (Listed above) take a few weeks to get in the system....Then the Vet meds. can be cut down...Good luck....
Avatar n tn Thank you for the thorough response. I see the therapist again tomorrow, and if it is still the same, I am going to ask to see the orthopedist again. If he shrugs it off again like last time, I will ask for a referral to a rheumatologist, either from him or my primary if he is reluctant. I absolutely use that finger alot in my work.I work in publishing, and I routinely pick up fairly heavy atlases with most of the bearing down sideways on the finger.
Avatar n tn If I knock on a door (normally, not hard) it feels like I just punched a cement wall. Both my ring finger knuckles have swelled to where I can not get my rings over them. It started aboutub 6 months ago and just progressively gets worse, I just noticed it happeneing in my right hand about 2 weeks ago. Any ideas what this could be?
Avatar n tn have hard bump (lump) om my middle finger first bend before the nail. when i bend it, it turns white. family dr says arthritis. it is the size of a pea. i am scared i will get more. thinking of going to my rheumatologist.
Avatar n tn I’ve got rheumatoid arthritis and lately, I have been experience the exact same symptom. Same finger. Same warming sensation. Same are of the finger. As the other person indicated, it is likely some form of arthritis. Best of luck to you.
Avatar n tn t have rheumatoid arthritis. At any rate, there are so many remedies for joint inflammation -- MSM, chondroiton and glucosamine sulfate, proteolytic enzymes such as bromelain, quercitin, vitamin C, ginger, turmeric, boswellia, devil's claw, yucca -- I mean, the list is very long. Perhaps the best thing is to buy a good book on natural treatment of this problem since there are so many combinations of options to choose from.
Avatar f tn This is associated with catching, snapping or locking of the involved finger flexor tendon, resulting in inability to move the finger and pain. The diagnostic thing is that you can unlock the lock and start the finger functioning again. Treatment is by injecting steroid into the tendon. If that fails, this can be surgically corrected. Other than that it can be arthritis too. Please consult an orthopedic specialist. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn I have been having these blisters appearing only in the mornings and between my finger for the last 4 months. My hands nearly drive me nuts. I have changed soaps, lotions, shampoo, conditioner, dish soap and everything there is to change. I have only very tiny blisters with clear fluid that dry out and then crack where the skin has gotten dry. Eczema lotion helps with the dryness but not the blistering. I have used alcohol, cortisone creams, anti-itch creams, calamine lotion....you name it.
Avatar n tn rightt hand ring finger still swellen and still pain after a month is the knuckel broken?
