Causes of pain
There are many reasons for hand joint pain. It appears most often due to trauma.
The tissues around the joints may be damaged. The transformation of the disease into a chronic form can lead to deformation changes. Therefore, the possibility of complete or complete movement is disrupted.
The causes of finger joint pain are:
- arthritisIt is an inflammatory disease that affects the joint surface and surrounding tissues. Due to rheumatism or autoimmune diseases, the connective tissue or other tissues in the joint area undergo pathological changes. Arthritis usually affects the joint group. Isolated inflammation is extremely rare. The disease is characterized by the symmetry of the inflamed joint area. A distinctive feature of pathology is pain during exercise and rest.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis-The disease has a contagious allergic nature. A feature of pathology is the appearance of lesions in the facet joints of the bones. The swelling of the tissue causes compression of the nerve fibers, causing pain. The disease developed suddenly. Movement restriction is accompanied by skin flushing and reduced motor activity.
- joint-The articular surface is gradually deformed. The stiffness when trying to move is combined with the soreness of the symmetrical joints in the fingers of the hand. Untimely treatment can lead to disability of the patient.

Acute pain is combined with edema and congestion of the skin on the diseased joint. The thumb is the first to suffer, and then other joints are also included in the pathological changes.
- Stenotic ligamentitis-Inflammatory diseases of finger joint ligaments. Damage to the annular ligament can cause finger pain.

Open damage to the bones can cause bacterial colonies to enter the wound, causing pus to accumulate and destroy the bones. At the same time, general symptoms of poisoning will supplement joint pain.
