Patient's question:
Recently, I've been saying my fingers hurt, especially when I make a fist, it hurts badly. It's a bit better at noon, but it hurts a lot in the morning and evening. At first, I didn't pay much attention, but it's getting more and more severe, and the pain is unbearable. So, I went to an old Chinese medicine practitioner for treatment, but it hasn't improved much lately. It's been bothering me.What kind of assistance would you like: What causes the joint pain in children's fingers? How is it treated?
Doctor's answer:
The symptoms are primarily caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, joint trauma, septic arthritis, tuberculous arthritis, and inflammatory diseases, leading to joint pain, redness, swelling, inflammation, and restricted movement, as well as functional limitations. For treatment, it is recommended to consult the acupuncture department or the rheumatology and immunology department for follow-up. Blood tests can be performed first, and attention should be paid to local warmth prevention. Warm water soaks for hands and feet can be used regularly. Wishing you good health!
