Your hand is a complex machine. It is made up of a complicated group of joints, muscles, tendons, and nerves. This is what gives your hand the dexterity to perform all sorts of tasks. When something goes wrong with that system and causes pain, it can affect your overall quality of life. It can make even the simplest tasks seem difficult. But we can help. With our team of experienced and dedicated healthcare providers, we can identify the cause of your pain, and create a custom treatment plan to solve it.
Hand pain can result from a number of issues. They range from repetitive strain injuries to diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Here are a few common causes for hand pain:
- Arthritis: There are many forms of arthritis, but they all involve inflammation of the joints that can limit hand function. The two most common types are osteoarthritis (OA) which is caused by wear and tear, and RA which is an autoimmune disease.
- Repetitive strain: Performing repetitive actions for hours on end can cause inflammation and swelling of nerves and tendons. This can include carpal tunnel syndrome which affects the median nerve as it passes through your wrist.
- De Quervain’s disease: This condition, also known as de Quervain’s tenosynovitis, involves pain and swelling of the tendons around the thumb. It can also cause pain in the lower arm.
- Finger sprains: When your finger gets bent in a way that damages the ligaments, it can cause pain, swelling, and restricted mobility.
- Trigger finger: The proper name for this condition is stenosing tenosynovitis. It involves the swelling of some connective tissue (the tendon sheath) at the base of the thumb or finger. It can cause a popping sensation when you try to move your finger or thumb.
