Pain of the hand

Hands of any person are most prone to injury. Pain in the hands testify to a lot: about stretching or rupturing of ligaments, about a fracture, excessive muscular tension, provoked by physical exertion and about many other things. Sometimes pain in the hands is a sign of a disease of the nerves or the musculoskeletal system. If the pain for a long time does not pass, then you should always seek medical help.

Why can the hands hurt?

Brushes often hurt brushes with dislocations and sprains - this factor will help confirm or disprove the x-ray of the limb. A cervical vertebra examination may be prescribed, since the brushes may be sore due to the intervertebral hernia. If the joints of the hands hurt even at rest, then one can suspect arthritis.

The problem is that even serious fractures in the hands are not always visible in visible form. Sometimes a person, striking his hand, does not realize that a fracture occurred, and pains "cheating" on a bruise. Only with a significant effort, the symptoms of fracture become apparent, and the victim goes to the doctor. Sometimes pain in the hands( especially in the left arm) can be a sign of a heart attack or even a symptom of myocardial infarction.

Rheumatoid arthritis

A doctor immediately presumes rheumatoid arthritis if there are complaints of pain in the hands and a decrease in mobility in them. This is one of the most common autoimmune diseases. Women suffer more often, but men and women are also prone to arthritis. In the world, approximately one person from one hundred is sick with rheumatoid arthritis, moreover, there is still no radical way to treat this disease.

If arthritis has pain in the hands, then there is a prolonged inflammatory process and slow destruction of joint tissues. Affected in arthritis is not only the joints, but also the bones adjacent to them, as well as cartilaginous tissue. Suffer joints of the ankles, ankle and knees, but most often - the joints of the hands.

Gout

This disease physicians call "a disease of meat eaters".Gout begins because of accumulation inside the joints( including in the hands) of the substance formed during the exchange of purines. Meat is the main source of purines in our diet. If the metabolic processes are violated - gout is ensured. The onset of the disease is acute: the toes hurt greatly, there is swelling and redness. In some cases, joints in the hands are aching.

With gout, a person suffers from severe pain, growing at night, and retreating in the morning. Factors provoking an attack, can serve alcohol, a lot of meat or fatty, a long stay in the bath. Gout attacks happen two to five times a year, lasting several days.

Osteoarthrosis

It pains not only the hands, but also the ulnar and humeral joints. Dull pain usually builds up during the day, during physical exertion, or when the patient is in a vertical position for a long time. Pain almost passes in the morning and after a long rest. From time to time the joints crunch and click. The aggravation can last for several months, sometimes the attack passes through a couple of days.

Arthritis of the joints of the hand

With this type of arthritis a person constantly has pain in the joint of the hand, even if he keeps his hand in peace. In the morning after sleep, there is a lack of mobility of the joint. Arthritis often causes redness of the skin around the joint and a strong fever. As a matter of fact an arthritis is a strong inflammatory process which proceeds in a joint. It is acute, which is signaled by severe soreness, and chronic, which proceeds slowly, from time to time reminding oneself of pain.

Chronic arthritis is primarily dangerous with its hidden symptoms. Without realizing the disease, a person can get a deformed or completely destroyed joint. The cause of arthritis is an infection that penetrates the joint through the blood vessels.

Working at the computer

When you work constantly on a PC, your hands often hurt, especially the brushes. Doctors call this "tunnel syndrome".This disease is very common among professionals who are forced to work at the computer for a long time. The disease is provoked by a pinched nerve in the metacarpal canal, which occurs due to uncomfortable position of the hands, a prolonged static load, or a deficiency of interarticulate fluid. Tunnel syndrome is easy to prevent, and it is very difficult to treat this disease. Complex therapy gives good results, relieving pain in the hands and improving the patient's quality of life.
