As we all know, health is the capital of revolution, which is why more and more people pay attention to physical exercise and diet. If there is something wrong with your body, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, and then see what is wrong with your fingers.

There are many reasons why fingers can't be straightened. The common causes are extensor tendon rupture caused by trauma, joint stiffness caused by long-term fixation after fracture, tenosynovitis compression, various arthritis (rheumatism, rheumatoid, bone, gout, traumatic joint fracture), and nervous system injury (such as ulnar nerve and radial nerve injury).

Different causes have different treatment methods: tendon injury needs surgical repair; Fracture causes joint stiffness, so it is suggested to strengthen functional exercise and loosen joints if necessary. Tenosynovitis can reduce repeated strain, relieve pain, and block it locally if necessary; Various arthritis, according to different arthritis to make corresponding treatment; Nerve injury should be treated according to the degree of injury, and nerve anastomosis should be performed if necessary.

If the finger is not straight for treatment, it needs to be judged according to the specific reasons:

First, it may refer to the rupture of extensor tendon, such as trauma or obvious swelling and pain of fingers. Considering the rupture of extensor tendon, it is necessary to suture the broken end of extensor tendon by surgery and then fix it with splint for about three weeks. After three weeks, the splint was removed for finger flexion and extension, and it basically returned to normal in about two months.

Second, it may mean that flexor tendon has obvious tenosynovitis. After tenosynovitis is formed, it will lead to local adhesion and proliferation over time, forming stenosing tenosynovitis. There will be obvious obstacles when the fingers are straight, which will affect the normal activities of the fingers. In this case, it is necessary to cut part of the tendon sheath with surgery or a small needle knife to help restore the function.

After the cause is clear, we must actively cooperate with the hospital to do all aspects of treatment. Patients should develop a good routine in daily life, go to bed early and get up early, and pay more attention to rest to ensure adequate sleep, which is very helpful for the recovery of the disease. In addition, patients can take proper physical exercise every day, which can enhance their physical fitness and enhance their resistance and immunity. However, we must be careful not to exercise excessively. Excessive exercise may do harm to our health.

Dietary structure It is suggested that patients should adjust their diet structure and eat more nutritious, light and digestible foods with high protein and calcium content, such as chicken soup, sparerib soup, kelp, fish, shrimp skin, bean products and lean meat. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement the required nutrition.

Why can't fingers be straight? What's wrong with straightening your fingers?

1, qi-blood imbalance

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes invigorating qi and protecting blood, regulating qi and blood need to be unblocked, nourishing viscera and meridians of limbs. Ying and Wei are harmonious, and Wei Qi protects people's body surface and prevents evil spirits from invading the body. The disharmony between the camp and the guard leads to the invasion of evil spirits, so the imbalance between the camp and the guard is one of the important factors of rheumatism. If there is posterior disorder, it will lead to the phenomenon that fingers cannot be straightened.

2, caused by tenosynovitis

Fingers are not normal, and there are many flexion and extension. Some people may be caused by diseases such as tenosynovitis. There may sometimes be an obvious click in the process of obtaining evidence. It is best to go to the orthopedic department of the hospital for treatment to avoid bone damage. If stubborn injury will seriously affect later life, it must be prevented.

3. Synovial injury

If some people have synovial membrane injury, it may also lead to the phenomenon that fingers can not bend and stretch normally, and the mobility of fingers may be limited. Sometimes, fingers will not have the symptoms of congestion, and may also cause the symptoms of finger pain. In daily life, we should also pay attention to avoiding this situation.

4. Overworked

Many people may be unable to bend their hands for a long time because of frequent exertion. Some patients may also have this symptom due to overwork, so they should have an effective rest and can be conditioned by soaking in hot water.

What should I do if my fingers bend and straighten?

If you want to treat finger bending and straightening correctly, you need to know what causes finger bending and straightening first, and carry out specific treatment according to specific reasons. Stenosing tenosynovitis is the most common cause of finger bending and straightening, which can be corrected by conservative treatment, such as microwave physiotherapy, topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or local blocking treatment, and even surgery.

In addition, finger bending and stretching are caused by long-term fixation after fracture or tendon rupture and suture, which leads to finger stiffness. At this time, the functional exercise of joints should be strengthened, and fingers can flex and stretch freely. The last situation is also the most difficult, which is the finger stiffness caused by long-term fixation. At this time, there is no way to achieve the goal simply through functional exercise, and eventually surgery is needed to relieve the treatment.

Why can't fingers be straight? What joint disease is it that you feel that your fingers are not straight?

Some people will feel pain in their fingers when they get up in the morning, followed by symptoms of finger stiffness. When the above symptoms appear, it is often morning stiffness that has found you.

In fact, morning stiffness does not only appear in the joints of fingers and fingers, but often appears after the inflammation of knee joints, finger joints, hip joints and other joints. Then, after getting up in the morning, these joints have symptoms of swelling and pain, and they are also accompanied by stiff discomfort.

Not only will there be symptoms in the morning, but there will be congestion and edema around the joint lesions when you sleep at night. At this point, the muscles around the joints will be in a state of tension. In fact, this is often the cause of joint pain and stiffness after getting up in the morning.

But often morning stiffness is only a symptom of a certain disease, so when you get up in the morning and have symptoms of stiff and swollen fingers, you should be alert to rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis, which are two common joint diseases.

The main cause of rheumatoid arthritis is streptococcus infection. Generally, after being infected by streptococcus, in order to get rid of this invading bacteria, the body's immune system is often fully mobilized.

However, after elimination, the immune system will be disordered, and there is no distinction between friends and enemies, because some antigens on streptococcus are highly similar to some antigens in human body, which increases the difficulty of immune system identification. Finally, after the antigen in the human body is attacked, it will cause joint inflammation.

The morning stiffness caused by rheumatoid arthritis usually lasts for 60 minutes, and this kind of pain will also show a symmetry, which means that it is often pain in both hands. Moreover, this kind of pain is not very mobile, and it may transfer to the wrist with the development of the disease.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that appears with the increase of age, that is, with the aging of the body, anyone may suffer from this kind of osteoarthritis. Often with the growth of age, the risk of illness is also increasing.

Osteoarthritis of the phalanges of the hand can lead to morning stiffness in a shorter time. Generally speaking, this swelling and stiffness will last for five minutes, but less than fifteen minutes. It rarely takes more than thirty minutes.

How to relieve morning stiffness symptoms?

If you get up in the morning, you can first relieve the symptoms of finger joint tension through independent finger activities. If the effect is not obvious, you can also put a pot of hot water in the carpenter's hand when washing your face to cover your hand, which can promote the absorption of inflammatory exudates by your hand, and also enhance blood circulation to achieve the purpose of relieving hand stiffness and swelling.

However, it should be noted that if the pain and stiffness of finger joints are caused by rheumatoid arthritis, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time, because there is a high risk of disability if the treatment is not timely. In other words, the morning stiffness of that finger lasted for nearly two months, and every time it rose for an hour, it was necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible.

To sum up, although morning stiffness is only a simple symptom, the reasons behind it are not simple, so the right medicine is the key to effectively improve the symptoms of finger swelling and stiffness. It is also worth noting that if some diseases that cause symptoms are not treated in time, there is a greater risk of disability. Therefore, in order to avoid falling disability, it is very important to carry out regular treatment in time after symptoms appear.
