Common causes of finger pain

Buerger's disease, also known as thromboangiitis obliterans or thromboangiitis, is a severe inflammatory disease of small and medium-sized arteries and veins, mainly in the legs. Less commonly, the arteries in the hands can also become narrowed or blocked, resulting in a lack of blood supply to the fingers. Severe blockage can cause finger pain and tissue death, requiring amputation of the affected finger. Superficial vein inflammation and symptoms of Raynaud's disease may also occur. Its pathology is characterized by occlusion of the vascular lumen, which may lead to ischemia (lack of blood supply) and tissue necrosis. Several possible causes of Buerger's disease: Smoking; Genetic susceptibility; Autoimmune process; Age - the disease occurs most often in younger patients, usually under 50; Hormonal factors; Viral infections; Chronic stress; Infectious diseasesPathogens - Some bacterial or other infectious agents may play a role in the development of the disease; Systemic connective tissue diseases; Arterial hypertension - Hypertension increases the risk of Buerger's disease.Logo:

Queven's disease is an inflammatory disease of the thumb tendon that presents with pain in the wrist area. This pathology was first described in 1895 by Swiss surgeon Fritz de Quervain. He had surgery to release the compressed tendon. Queven's disease is more common in women and is caused by repetitive movements of the wrist that put pressure on the hand and thumb for extended periods of time. For example, when using a smartphone frequently, hold a heavy object with one hand. Representatives of professions related to manual labor - hairdressers, tailors, builders, pianists - are at increased risk of developing this syndrome. Risk factors also include pregnancy and postpartum, and rheumatoid arthritis. The mechanisms of development of pathological conditions are as follows. The tendons of the wrist extensor muscles pass beneath the retinaculum ligament on the dorsal surface of the lower third of the forearm. In this area there are 6 channels along which the tendons slide. As the hand moves frequently, the friction between these tendons and the walls of the tunnel increases. As a result, swelling occurs, causing the tube to narrow, disrupting the normal gliding of the tendon and causing severe pain in the wrist when moving the thumb.Logo:

Bursitis is inflammation of the bursa surrounding a joint. Typically, the disease affects the large joints of the upper limbs. The bursae of the fingers may also be affected, but this occurs less frequently. During an exacerbation of bursitis, cold compresses can help: the pain subsides and the inflammation decreases. For chronic forms of the disease, physical therapy and drug injections are required. In particularly severe cases, doctors may resort to surgical intervention. Logo:

Secondary syphilis is the second stage of infection caused by Treponema pallidum bacteria. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection. Secondary syphilis occurs weeks or months after the initial infection (primary syphilis) and is characterized by the spread of the infection throughout the body. Cause: The cause of secondary syphilis is continued infection with Treponema pallidum after primary syphilis. Here are some factors that may lead to the development of secondary syphilis: insufficient or inadequate treatment of primary syphilis, noncompliance with treatment, late initiation of treatment, unprotected sex with an infected partner, and weak immunity.Logo:

Finger dislocation is a pathological condition in which the joint surfaces of the phalanges of the fingers are displaced and no longer coincide with each other. Fingers are more commonly affected than toes. Finger dislocation can occur at any joint of any finger, but is most common in the middle joint of the little, ring, middle, or index finger. Finger dislocation is always caused by stress on the nail phalanx. For example: When playing sports, the ball may hit the tips of outstretched fingers; it may land on an outstretched arm. Finger injuries are usually caused by home or sports injuries: forced hyperextension or a blow to the finger area. Jumping or falling can cause a dislocated toe. .Logo:

Palmar aponeurosis contracture, also known as palmar aponeurosis contracture, is an abnormal thickening of the fascia at the base of the palms and fingers, which is a layer of tissue under the skin. This thickened area may appear as dense patches or streaks. Over time, it can cause one or more fingers to bend, pulling them toward the side or inside of the palm. The ring and little fingers are most commonly affected. In many cases, both hands are affected. In rare cases, the feet may be affected. Palmar aponeurosis contracture is hereditary. The exact cause of the disease is unknown. This may be caused by smoking, alcohol abuse, diabetes, nutritional deficiencies, or medications used to treat seizures. The disease usually begins in middle age. It is more common in men than women. Smokers and people with diabetes are at increased risk of developing this disease.Logo:

A finger fracture is a violation of the bone integrity of one finger of the upper limb. Finger fractures vary in nature and location. Closed fractures are caused by trauma, such as falling on your hand or squeezing a finger. An open fracture is characterized by a bone protruding through the skin and can occur due to severe trauma, such as an accident or injury from a sharp object. A basal phalanx fracture is usually caused by a blow to the top of the finger, such as a hammer. A fracture of the middle phalanx may be caused by a direct blow or strong compression to the middle of the finger. Distal phalanx fractures may result from trauma, such as a fall or a strong blow to the end of the finger. Stress fractures are often associated with repetitive microtrauma or overuse, such as in athletes or people who frequently use their arms in repetitive motions.Logo:

Wrist injuries are injuries that affect bony joints and soft joint tissues, including bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. A wrist sprain occurs when the ligament is torn due to overstretching, a physical impact, or a fall. Wrist sprain syndrome is a wrist condition, also known as ulnar abduction, that occurs when the ulna is slightly longer than the radius. It usually occurs after a wrist fracture heals in an atypical way, making the wrist joint between that bone and the carpus less stable. Wrist arthritis can occur in any joint of the wrist due to normal wear and tear or injury to the wrist. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed. It can be caused by repetitive strain injuries of the wrist, high blood pressure, or diabetes.Logo:

Polyarthritis of the fingers is inflammation of three or more joints at the same time. There are more than 100 different types of polyarthritis, with varying causes and treatments. The most common are: rheumatoid polyarthritis and psoriatic polyarthritis. Polyarthritis of the fingers can be caused by: wear and tear of the phalangeal joints due to overload; age; injury; autoimmune disease; genetic predisposition, family history; muscle weakness. Symptoms of polyarthritis usually appear over time, but they can appear suddenly. The typical age for developing rheumatoid arthritis is 30 to 50 years. However, it can also affect children, teenagers, and young adults. Osteoarthritis usually develops after age 50 or 60, but studies have shown radiographic signs of osteoarthritis in women as young as 40 years old.Logo:

Soft tissue sprains of the hand are violations of the integrity of ligaments, tendons, or muscles. The most easily sprained ligaments are ligaments. Soft tissue strains can occur when a joint twists in an unnatural way due to the sudden twisting caused by a fall. The most common injuries to the soft tissues of the hand are to the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These injuries usually occur during sports and exercise, but sometimes simple everyday activities can cause injuries. Sprains, strains, bruises, as well as tendonitis and bursitis are the main forms of injury.Logo:

Rheumatoid arthritis of the hands is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects more than just the joints. For some people, the condition can cause damage to multiple body systems, including the skin, eyes, lungs, heart and blood vessels. Rheumatoid arthritis of the hands is an autoimmune disease that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissue. Factors that increase your risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis: Gender – women are more likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis Age – rheumatoid arthritis of the hands and fingers can occur at any age, but most commonly develops in middle ageFamily history - if at least one blood relative has rheumatoid arthritis, the risk of developing the disease is increased. Smoking - rheumatoid arthritis develops faster and symptoms are more severe due to nicotine consumption. Overweight – Patients who are overweight have a slightly higher risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis.Logo:

Sickle cell anemia is a pathology that belongs to a group of genetic disorders. The disease affects the shape of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to various parts of the body. Red blood cells are usually round and elastic, so they move easily through blood vessels. In sickle cell anemia, some red blood cells are shaped like sickles or crescents. Sickle cells can also become stiff and sticky, which can slow or block blood flow. Sickle cell anemia is caused by changes in the genes that control hemoglobin production. Hemoglobin allows red blood cells to carry oxygen from the lungs throughout the body. Hemoglobin abnormalities cause red blood cells to become stiff, sticky, and misshapen. In order for a child to develop the disease, both the mother and father must carry one copy of the sickle cell gene (also known as sickle cell trait) and pass copies of both mutated forms to the child.

Thrombosis is the complete or partial obstruction of a blood vessel lumen by a mural or mobile thrombus. Venous thrombosis can occur due to venous congestion caused by prolonged immobility, a chemical imbalance that causes increased blood clotting, or injury to the veins. Most arterial thrombosis is the result of atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of the arterial walls). There are also risk factors that increase the chance of developing blood clots: advanced age; pregnancy; some birth control pills; hormone replacement therapy; physical inactivity; obesity; smoking; infections; autoimmune diseases; hand injuries; surgery; inherited vascular diseases; Previous blood clots.Logo:

Preeclampsia is a complication that occurs late in pregnancy. It becomes one of the factors causing swelling of the fingers. Additionally, the problem is characterized by: frequent headaches, abnormal swelling of the face and fingers, blurred vision, weight gain, and abdominal pain. Early treatment of preeclampsia is critical to ensuring a safe pregnancy and delivery. It involves taking medications, constant monitoring by a doctor, and in rare cases, early delivery.
