Support for Fingers

WHY DO FINGERS HURT?

There are, of course, an infinite number of causes, but here we have listed a few reasons for finger pain.

OVEREXERTION

If you have pain that comes and goes, it may be due to overexertion of the fingers. It usually goes away if you rest your fingers.

TEMPORARY PAIN

Sometimes you can get temporary pain in your fingers in connection with a cold, for example. This is because the infection has settled in the hands. This usually passes in a few days or a week.

TRAUMA

TRAUMA CAN NATURALLY OCCUR IN THE FINGERS OR THUMB. HEALING TIME VARIES DEPENDING ON THE EXTENT OF THE INJURY.

JOINT DISEASES

If the pain is permanent, it may be due to a joint disease, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatism or gout. The resulting pain is characterised by stiff, sore and sometimes swollen joints. It may also hurt to move your fingers. If you have persistent pain, it is important to seek help to get the right diganosis and thus the right support and treatment.

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by an important nerve being pinched, which can lead to reduced sensation in the hands. For example, you may experience tingling and numbness at night and impaired fine motor skills. There may also be pain in the hand and wrist. Carpal tunnel syndrome can be treated by a physiotherapist, for example. Often, ergonimic training and support to make everyday life easier is sufficient.

TUMOUR ARTROS

Tumour osteoarthritis means that the base joint of the thumb is affected by osteoarthritis and can also result in problems in the wrist and loss of strength in the "tweezer grip" between the thumb and index finger. In the case of thumb osteoarthritis, it is advantageous to use a tumour prosthesis to stabilise the thumb joint.
