Could Stiffness In Hands And Fingers Be Related To Mild Dystonia?
Hi, for about five years I have had mild stiffness in my hands and fingers but recently it has become much more painful. Holding cups, plates, cutlery etc. It s in both hands. The pain is not in the joints as it occurs in the palms of my hands as well. Could this be a link to my mild dystonia? I am female and am 48 years old.

Hello,
The stiffness in hand and fingers can be related to rheumatoid arthritis. I recommend to check the rheumatoid factor level for further evaluation. Meanwhile, I suggest to use an anti-inflammatory medication such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms. I also recommend to do stretching exercises for relieve.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
