My wrist hurts when I move my thumb: causes, treatment methods

The structure of human hands distinguishes him from representatives of other biological species. Thanks to them, we can not only serve ourselves, but also perform a wide variety of work. The fingers of the human hand are parts of the upper limbs, which in the process of development received a very important functional load. That's why, when your fingers hurt, it becomes difficult to hold a fork or spoon, type text on a PC, cook food, or even just lace up your shoes.

The reasons why your fingers hurt can be different. In addition to being susceptible to injury, there are a number of medical conditions that can affect their mobility. In addition, pain in the joints of the fingers can be caused by inflammatory processes (arthritis).

At CELT you can get advice from a specialist algologist.

General information about the disease

Arthritis of the hands often develops against the background of high functional load on the joints of the hand and their injury. The hand consists of many small bones connected into joints: the wrist, carpometacarpal and metacarpophalangeal. There are many blood vessels and nerves in the hand area, so all pathological processes are painful. ICD-10 disease code (other unspecified arthritis) is M13.

Arthritis of the hands often develops during adolescence as growth occurs and is accompanied by severe deformities. No less often they develop in the second half of life due to hormonal disorders, against the background of sports, domestic and professional injuries. The disease can equally develop in people of any gender.

general characteristics

The metacarpophalangeal joints of the hand are spherical joints with a complex structure. They are formed by the surfaces of the heads of the metacarpal bones and the bases of the first phalanges. After the wrist joint, these are the largest and most mobile in the hand. They bear the main load during any hand work. The metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb is slightly different due to its special structure, location and function. Here it has a saddle shape, so it is not so mobile. But it is he who is responsible for the grasping movements of the hand.

This joint can be easily seen if you clench your hand into a fist. In this case, the metacarpophalangeal joints of the four fingers form semicircular bulges, spaced approximately 1 cm from each other. The most noticeable bump is in the area of ​​the middle finger. Due to this location, these joints are very vulnerable and are quite often subject to trauma or various pathological processes. In this case, not only the work of the hand is disrupted, but also the overall performance of a person.


The metacarpophalangeal joints are the most mobile in the hand; they can bend, extend, move in the lateral plane and even rotate

Causes

It is not always possible to find out why the disease begins. Very often, the cause of arthritis of the hands is acute and chronic injuries to the hand. Acute injuries are often complicated by acute aseptic (without infection) arthritis, ending in complete recovery. But if an infection occurs, the inflammation can be purulent.

With constant minor trauma to the hand, most often professional, a chronic inflammatory process slowly develops with subsequent dysfunction of the joints.

In childhood and adolescence, juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA) can develop, the origin of which most often cannot be determined. After a few years, it leads to the development of serious deformities of the upper limbs. Deformation of the hands is a characteristic symptom of rheumatoid arthritis - an inflammatory process in the joints, the cause of which is an autoimmune process - an allergy to the patient’s own tissues. Genetic predisposition is of great importance in this disease.

Sometimes the disease develops against the background of reactive arthritis after infections of the upper respiratory tract, genitourinary organs, or intestinal infections. The exact causes of such lesions are not known, but they are also often associated with genetic factors. Infectious arthritis of the hands develops with gonorrhea, syphilis and some other infections.

Read more about infectious arthritis in this article.

Metabolic disorders can also cause inflammation of the hand joints. Thus, with disturbances in purine metabolism, gout develops, in which uric acid crystals are deposited in the articular and periarticular tissues, causing inflammation.

Great importance is attached to predisposing factors (triggers) that increase the risk of developing hand arthritis. These include previous infections, hypothermia, high physical activity on the hands, constant intense fine work with the hand, sports activities, stress, bad habits, poor nutrition, and hormonal changes. Arthritis of the hand often develops in tennis players, pianists, guitarists, hairdressers and people in any other professions whose work involves constant stress on the hands.

How to treat De Quervain's disease?

If the disease arose relatively recently, a good effect is achieved fairly quickly. Even if pain persists for a long time, it is better to start with the safest methods. The following activities work best:

  • Temporary fixation of the first finger and wrist with an orthosis or cast. Eliminating stress on the tendons allows them to recover faster. A good orthosis will fix the finger, but will not interfere with the active work of the entire hand.
  • Short-term use of NSAIDs and local cooling. For severe pain, medication is prescribed and it is recommended to apply cold objects (for example, an ice bottle through a cloth) to the painful point.
  • Light massage and special exercises. Outside the period of exacerbation, physical development of the finger helps to endure the rehabilitation period more comfortably. According to patient reviews, various massagers, needle rollers and kinesio taping often help.
  • Blockades with steroids. Sometimes the pain is so severe that anti-inflammatory agents must be injected directly into the tendon sheath. This works well in the short term, but has many disadvantages in the future.

If the pain persists for years, and conservative treatment does not produce results, the patient is indicated for surgery. In this case, the surgeon cuts the canal of the tendons, and they move more freely. The advantage of surgery is a tangible quick effect, the disadvantage is the risk of infectious complications and unintentional tendon damage.

Symptoms of hand arthritis

Symptoms of hand arthritis depend on the causes of the disease, its clinical form and the nature of its course. Arthritis can begin suddenly, acutely, with a disturbance in the general condition of the patient, or it can slowly and imperceptibly with gradual destruction of the joints.

First signs

Acute arthritis of the hand begins suddenly with pain, redness and swelling of the tissue. Body temperature may rise, chills, malaise, and headache may appear. This course usually forces you to immediately consult a doctor, so acute arthritis in most cases is completely cured.


The first symptoms of arthritis of the hands are pain, swelling and redness of the tissues.

In the chronic course, vague pain in the hand and wrist area first appears, then morning stiffness of the hands appears - a feeling of tight constricting gloves on the hands, which initially lasts no more than half an hour after sleep. Stiffness goes away after the start of movements. Joint pain is aching in nature; at the beginning of the disease, it appears and then disappears.

It is important to notice the first symptoms in time and immediately seek medical help!

Obvious symptoms

Gradually, the pain syndrome with arthritis of the hands increases, the aching pain becomes constant, swelling and redness appear (not always). The period of stiffness in the morning increases, the movement of the hand is impaired, first due to pain, and after a while due to dysfunction of the joint. When you squeeze the hand, a clicking sound appears, sometimes accompanied by increased pain.

Over time, the hand with arthritis of the hands becomes deformed and loses its functions. It may take on the appearance of flippers (in rheumatoid arthritis) or shorten due to the rapid ossification of growth plates in juvenile chronic arthritis. The small bones of the wrist grow together, ankylosis develops, and the hand stops bending.

Dangerous symptoms

Arthritis of the hands can become more complicated. Therefore, if the following symptoms appear, you should immediately consult a doctor:

  • acute onset of the disease with high fever lasting more than 5 days;
  • a sudden rise in high temperature against the background of already existing signs of arthritis, increased swelling and redness of the hand - a sign of possible purulent inflammation;
  • sharp pain, deformation of the hand and increasing swelling of the tissues are a sign of dislocation or subluxation of the hand.

How dangerous is the disease?

The hand is the most active working organ of a person, therefore the main danger of arthritis of the hand is dysfunction, the formation of ankylosis (immobility) of the joints of the hand. Dysfunction develops gradually as the disease moves from one stage to another.

Stages

There are 4 stages of the disease, during which functional failure develops:

  1. Initial.
    The stage of inflammation, which cannot always be seen during instrumental examination. This is the beginning of inflammation of the synovial membrane. It thickens and begins to secrete an increased volume of inflammatory exudate. Externally, this is manifested by the appearance of transient pain and slight swelling.
  2. Explicit.
    Inflammatory phenomena intensify, the amount of exudate increases, the synovial membrane grows in the form of soft granulations - pannus, occupying a significant part of the joint cavity. Pain and swelling of the tissues increase and become constant.
  3. Formation of soft ankylosis.
    The loose tissue of the pannus becomes dense and connects the surfaces of the bone joints, forming their immobility. The flexion of the hand is impaired, and the pain continues to bother me.
  4. Formation of bone ankylosis.
    Instead of connective tissue, bone tissue grows and complete immobility of the joint develops with loss of function and disability. The inflammatory process in the joints continues, so pain and swelling remain.

Any form of arthritis has serious complications, so you should not delay treatment.
See how easily the disease can be cured in 10-12 sessions.

Possible complications

At different stages, the disease can cause different complications:

  • purulent inflammation involving periarticular tissues in the process; in the absence of adequate treatment, it can develop into sepsis;
  • subluxations and dislocations of the affected joints – are accompanied by pain and require emergency assistance;
  • shortening of the upper limb in juvenile chronic arthritis;
  • complete loss of limb function, disability.

Exacerbation of the disease - what to do?

In some clinical forms, the disease occurs in waves, with exacerbations and remissions. In case of severe exacerbation with severe pain, redness and swelling of tissues, you should:

  • take any pill from the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) - Diclofenac, Meloxicam, Nise, etc.; apply an external agent (gel, ointment) with the same agents to the skin, for example, Diclofenac ointment; Menovazin, an anesthetic solution for external use, is also suitable;
  • lie down in bed, give the hand an elevated position, placing a pillow under it;
  • call a doctor at home.

Features of the course of arthritis of the hands in different types of disease

Arthritis of the hand can be a manifestation of various diseases, so its symptoms, course and consequences will also be different.

Post-traumatic and purulent arthritis

The addition of a purulent infection can occur with any type of disease. Most often this happens after open injuries, but sometimes the infection enters the joints through the bloodstream from distant foci of infection. If the infection does not occur, the disease is acute and ends with complete recovery.

The onset of the purulent process is acute, with fever, headache, and malaise. The hand is very painful, it swells sharply, and the skin turns red. Movements are severely limited due to pain. When such symptoms appear, the patient requires surgical assistance.

Chronic post-traumatic arthritis of the hands develops with frequent minor injuries to the hand in people involved in certain sports (tennis players), musicians (pianists), hairdressers, etc. In the absence of help and continued injury, a permanent dysfunction of the joint occurs.

Rheumatoid arthritis


Rheumatoid arthritis

Damage to the small joints of the hands develops frequently. Characterized by symmetrical joint damage and a slowly progressive course. Initially, moderate transient pain and stiffness of movement appear in the morning, lasting no more than half an hour and passing through physical activity. Arthritis of the fingers also develops.

After some time, some swelling appears over the affected area, the pain becomes constant, night pain and severe morning stiffness bother you. The swelling may increase or decrease, but the pain does not go away. Redness of the hand is rare.

If you do not consult a doctor in a timely manner, then deformation of the hands gradually appears - they take on the shape of flippers and completely or partially lose their function.

Reactive arthritis

Develops two weeks after a genitourinary or intestinal infection, sometimes after sinusitis, otitis media or tonsillitis. More often, the pathological process involves the joints of the lower extremities, but sometimes also the upper ones, for example, the wrist joint.

The disease most often occurs acutely, with pain, redness and swelling of the tissue. The prognosis is favorable: with adequate treatment, complete recovery occurs. But sometimes the course is initially chronic, in which case, with a long course, the function of the joint may be impaired.

Joint pain at rest

Infectious arthritis

Hand damage most often occurs with gonorrheal arthritis. The inflammatory process is acute, with pain, swelling and redness of tissues, an increase in general body temperature, and malaise. Goes away after treatment for gonorrheal infection. Chronic course is rare.

Juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA)

It occurs in childhood and adolescence and can be of multifactorial origin. It often occurs chronically, but there is also a subacute course. A feature of this type of hand arthritis is frequent damage to the joints of the hand and fingers, a long course and the formation of disability over the next seven years.

Deformation of the limbs (shortening) occurs due to the premature closure of bone growth zones.

Gouty arthritis

Metabolic disease - deposition of uric acid salts in articular and periarticular tissues. Inflammation of the small joints of the hands is rarely the only symptom of the disease; usually its appearance is combined with the development of arthritis of other joints, the thumb is especially often affected. During an attack of gout, the area over the affected joint swells, turns red, and the pain is very severe. With frequent repetition of inflammation in the same joint, joint function may be impaired: the hand stops bending.


Gouty arthritis

Movements in the joint

This joint is the most mobile among all the joints of the hand. He has quite complex biomechanics. Fingers in this place can perform the following movements:

  • flexion-extension;
  • abduction-adduction;
  • rotation.

Moreover, the last movements are available only for 4 fingers. The large one has a special structure - only two phalanges. Therefore, his metacarpophalangeal joint is block-shaped - it can perform a limited number of movements. It only bends; all other movements are blocked and impossible even in a passive form. This articulation of the thumb follows the form and function of all other interphalangeal joints.

The metacarpophalangeal joints of the remaining fingers are more mobile. This is explained by their special structure. The base of the phalanx is slightly smaller than the head of the metacarpal bone. Their strong connection is ensured by a fibrocartilaginous plate. On the one hand, it serves for tight contact between the bones and stabilization of the joint, which is especially noticeable when extending the finger. But when he starts to move, this plate slides, providing a greater range of motion.

A feature of this joint, due to which the finger can move in different directions, is the elasticity of its capsule and synovial membrane. In addition, the joint capsule has deep pockets in front and back. They ensure the sliding of the fibrocartilaginous plate, and it is in these places that the tendons of the muscles that control the operation of the fingers are attached.

We recommend reading the article: Why does the thumb on the hand hurt when bent?

Greater mobility of these joints is possible due to the presence of two types of ligaments. One is attached to the fibrocartilaginous plate and the head of the metacarpal bone. It ensures normal sliding of this plate. Other ligaments are collateral, located on the sides of the fingers. They ensure their flexion and extension, and also slightly limit the mobility of the joint. For example, with a bent finger, its movement in the lateral plane, that is, its abduction and adduction, is impossible. The operation of this joint is also controlled by the palmar ligament and the transverse interdigital ligament.

Unlike the thumb, which bends less than 90 degrees at the metacarpophalangeal joint, the other fingers have a greater range of motion. The index finger has the least mobility; it can bend 90-100 degrees, no more. Further to the little finger, the amplitude of movements, especially passive ones, increases. And the middle one cannot bend more than 90 degrees even passively due to the tension of the interdigital ligament, which prevents it from approaching the palm.

The metacarpophalangeal joints are the only ones in the hand that can be extended, although with a small amplitude - no more than 30 degrees. Although in some people the mobility of the fingers can reach such an extent that they extend at a right angle. In addition, in this place it is possible to perform rotational movements, both passive and active. But their mobility is different for each person.


It is in these places that pain most often occurs due to age-related changes in tissues, after increased stress or other pathologies

Diagnostics

The diagnosis of arthritis of small joints of the hands is established on the basis of examination and questioning of the patient and is confirmed by laboratory and instrumental studies:

  • Laboratory tests
    - reveal the content of components confirming the inflammatory process, the presence of infectious pathogens and antibodies to them, as well as rheumatoid factor.
  • Instrumental
    :
      Ultrasound
      – reveals the presence of excess fluid in the joint;
  • radiography
    - the presence of bone changes (narrowing of the joint space, bone ankylosis);
  • MRI
    – presence of changes in soft articular and periarticular tissues;
  • arthroscopy
    - endoscopic examination, allows you to see the inner lining of the joint and all changes in it; During diagnostic arthroscopy, you can take fluid or a piece of tissue for examination.

Differential diagnosis

  • A hammertoe is characterized by a drooping end joint of the toe. This happens when the tendon is cut or torn from the bone. Often this separation occurs when the tip of the finger is struck by an object (such as a basketball) and is forced to bend it.
  • Weinstein contracture describes a bent position of the medial joint of the finger. Contracture can occur when the extensor tendon is torn or cut.
  • Cuts on the back of the hand can damage the tendons. This may cause difficulty in straightening the finger.
  • Snapping finger syndrome (passive movement is impossible).
  • Posterior interosseous nerve syndrome of the forearm: tenodesis present, no tear.

Treatment of hand arthritis

How and with what to treat arthritis of the hands, the doctor decides after examination and establishing a final diagnosis. Any treatment carried out without examination will not be effective, since different types of arthritis are treated differently. In any case, the patient is prescribed an individually selected comprehensive treatment. It includes:

  • drug therapy;
  • physiotherapeutic procedures;
  • Exercise therapy, massage;
  • reflexology (RT);
  • traditional methods of treatment.

If conservative therapy is ineffective, surgical treatment methods are prescribed.

Drug therapy

For hand arthritis, the following medications are prescribed:

  1. NSAID groups – relieve pain, inflammation and fever. The most effective NSAID drug is Diclofenac, but it causes irritation of the gastric mucosa, so today more modern drugs of this group are prescribed - Meloxicam, Celebrex, Nimesulide in the form of injections (injections), tablets or capsules for oral administration and external agents (ointments, creams, gels). ).
  2. For severe swelling and pain that cannot be relieved with NSAIDs, glucocorticoid hormones are prescribed in the form of short courses of oral tablets, intravenous infusions or intra-articular injections. They perfectly eliminate all unpleasant symptoms.
  3. In subacute and chronic cases, drugs that suppress immune processes (basic therapy) are prescribed: Methotrexate, Sulfasalazine, Azathioprine, etc.
  4. Medicines from the group of biological agents that include antibodies and cytokines (MabThera) also suppress immune reactions.
  5. If the cause of the disease is an infection, drugs are prescribed that suppress it.
  6. Antihistamines to reduce allergies - Claritin, Erius, Cetrin, etc.
  7. Chondroprotectors - agents that restore cartilage tissue of joints - Teraflex, Dona, etc.
  8. Vitamins and minerals that restore metabolism.


Drug treatment for arthritis of the hands is carried out using drugs from the NSAID group, drugs that suppress immune processes, and other drugs.

Physiotherapeutic procedures

Depending on the stage of the disease, physiotherapeutic procedures are added to the drug treatment of arthritis of the hands, which significantly enhance the therapeutic effect and accelerate the process of tissue restoration:

  • at the stage of inflammation
    - electrophoresis and phonophoresis with painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs;
  • at the recovery stage
    - magnetic therapy, laser therapy, thermal procedures (paraffin, ozokerite).

In a state of stable remission of arthritis of the hands, sanatorium-resort treatment is recommended - mud, baths in combination with hardware physiotherapeutic techniques. Kavminvod sanatoriums are perfect.

Crunching in joints - when to worry

Intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid

Massage

These procedures are done in a state of remission. Both therapeutic massage performed by a massage therapist and self-massage are very effective. You can independently perform the following most effective, but at the same time gentle massage movements every day after applying massage oil to your hands:

  • rubbing the back surface: with sliding movements of one hand, rub the back surface of the other in the direction from the wrist to the fingertips; then change hands;
  • rubbing the side surfaces of the fingers: interlock your fingers and move your hands so that the side surfaces of the fingers are rubbed;
  • rubbing the palms: with the fingers of one hand, forcefully rub the palms of the other in the direction from the wrist to the fingers;
  • soft massage movement “hand washes hand”;
  • stroking hands with light sliding movements.

Daily massage improves blood circulation, helps revitalize metabolic processes and restore tissue.

Physiotherapy

Physical therapy (physical therapy) complexes are prescribed by a doctor. It is better to undergo the first training sessions under the supervision of a physical therapy instructor, and then continue at home. The following exercises will help improve your well-being:

  • rolling an apple or a tennis ball
    - roll a medium-sized apple (to fit in the palm) or a tennis ball between the palms, actively pressing on the soft tissues; also actively roll the apple on the table;
  • rolling chestnuts between palms and fingers
    - take 2-3 chestnuts at once and roll between palms and fingers, as well as on a smooth table surface;
  • clenching and unclenching a fist
    - clench your palms into a fist and hold it tense, then sharply unclench it with all fingers straightened like a fan; repeat 10 times;
  • beating out the rhythm with your palm
    - with open palms, beat out any clear rhythm on the table (march, rap, whatever you like);
  • flexion-extension
    - place your elbows on the table, raise your forearms parallel to each other; make a simultaneous tilt of the hands forward, then back, right and left; repeat everything 5 times.

Therapeutic gymnastics helps improve blood circulation, restores the strength of muscles and ligaments, improves joint mobility, and prevents the destruction of cartilage. It is carried out in a state of remission.

Reflexology


Therapeutic exercises with a ball and reflexology will help cure arthritis of the hands

An ancient Chinese method, successfully integrated into modern medicine. It is based on a reflex effect on the entire body, as well as on individual organs and tissues through certain points on the human body. Most often, the effect is carried out using acupuncture (acupuncture), but you can also cauterize (warm up) the points with wormwood cigarettes, do acupressure and use other techniques. This method has proven itself in the treatment of hand arthritis.

Traditional methods

Folk remedies (herbal decoctions and tinctures) are also actively included in complex treatment as additional methods. But the doctor prescribes them ,

self-medication should be excluded. Traditional recipes:

  • compresses from dry elm bark; grind the raw materials, grind them into powder, dilute with water to a pasty state, transfer to a napkin and apply to the affected joints; Apply polyethylene and insulation on top and leave overnight; perfectly relieves pain and swelling;
  • ointment from dried poplar buds; crush the raw materials in a mortar, add the same amount of melted butter and rub into your hands several times a day; analgesic effect.

Surgery

In the acute period, surgical treatment is carried out for a purulent inflammatory process: the pus is removed, the joint cavity is washed with an antiseptic solution.

Surgery is sometimes required for long-term, wave-like arthritis with severe pain and swelling: part of the synovial membrane is removed (synovectomy). This gives a positive result and brings relief to the patient.

When a complete loss of joint function occurs, endoprosthetics is performed - replacing the destroyed joint with an artificial one.

Epidemiology/Etiology

The extensor tendons are on the surface, so they are very susceptible to injury. Another reason for their sensitivity is the small thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer between the tendons and the skin covering them. Injuries can be caused by deep cuts, burns, blunt trauma, lacerations, crushing, avulsion or intense friction. Closed injuries usually occur under extreme stress. This causes the tendons to be torn from their attachments to the bone.

You can read about flexor tendon damage here.

General clinical recommendations

To prevent exacerbation of the pathological process and its progression, the following recommendations must be followed:

  • follow all doctor's orders;
  • conduct courses of anti-relapse treatment;
  • promptly treat all acute and chronic diseases;
  • avoid colds and hypothermia, especially of the hands;
  • do not lift heavy objects, do not engage in long-term painstaking activities involving the hands;
  • avoid prolonged stress;
  • get rid of bad habits.

Prevention

Prevention of arthritis of the hand is especially important for people with a family history (close relatives suffering from this pathology). To prevent the development of the disease, you need:

  • lead a healthy active lifestyle, eat right;
  • do not overload your hands with heavy physical work and long, tedious painstaking work;
  • do not smoke, do not abuse alcohol;
  • avoid hypothermia of hands;
  • promptly treat all diseases and hormonal disorders.

How to eat healthy

Only gout requires a special diet; it is imperative to adhere to its requirements. For other types of arthritis, a healthy diet is sufficient. Fatty meat and dairy products, fried, spicy, smoked, and canned foods should be excluded from the diet. It is necessary to limit sweets, baked goods, and sweet carbonated drinks. The diet should contain a lot of fresh vegetables, fruits, cereals, and low-fat animal products.
