What Causes Severe Pain In The Hands With Stiffness In The Fingers?
Hi! My name is vida: My hands have been aching for over a month now. My middle and index fingers hurt real bad middle buckles on both hands hurt very bad all the time and fingers lock up if I m not constantly moving them!!! Very hurtful if I even try to make a fist! Went to emergency room and didn t get any help or referral. What kind of doctor do I need to make an appt with?
I read your question and understood your concern. I think you have trigger finger syndrome which is an inflammation of flexor tendon sheath caused by overuse (may be profession) and is manifested with locking of the fingers. In the beginning we treat it with medication and cortisone injection in the fingers, if no results found then we do a small surgery on the palm of the hand. I think you should see a hand surgeon, or if you do not have a hand surgeon then an orthopedic surgeon would take care of you for this problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Edvin Selmani
