What Are The Causes Of Tightness And Weakness In Fingers Which Worsens After Sleeping?

Hi, I am a 54-year-old female in great health, no meds and for the past three weeks I am experiencing tightness and weakness in my fingers, particularly of right hand. It worsens while sleeping and improves slightly during day. I am not overweight, eat healthy, take supplements. I do not have stiffness anywhere else. Any idea what is causing this?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
If it is only in your one hand and other joints are normal it can be arthritis in wrist. Have you been suffering from fever in last 6 months then this can be because of that. I would recommend you to get blood investigation such as ESR, CRP, Ra factor. till that time take Brufen and apply gentle warm water at your hand. your pain will be relieved soon.
