Suggest Treatment For Swollen Knuckles

I have very swollen hands especially between the knuckles. Not tender to touch but swelling never goes down and burns like you wouldn t believe especially at night time. Doc has no idea what s causing it. Says it s not fluid retention and bloods show no sign of inflammation. Can you offer any guidance please.

Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.I think you get done rheumatoid arthritis factor test and thyroid function test as these are important cause of swelling. You are also advised to see neurologist to rule out neurological disorder. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
