What is arthritis in the hands?
Arthritis in the hands is a chronic condition that affects the joints of the fingers, wrist, and base of the thumb. It is characterized by inflammation of the joints and can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, deformity, and difficulty moving the hands.
Here are some symptoms that you may have arthritis in the hands:
The symptoms vary slightly depending on the type of arthritis. These differences can help the doctor determine the correct underlying cause of the symptoms in the hands.
What causes arthritis?
Arthritis in the hands can have different causes, including genetic factors or aging, previous injuries to the fingers or hands. These factors can trigger an inflammatory response in the joints, leading to cartilage degradation and the formation of osteophytes, also known as "bone spurs."
Finally, what can be done to control arthritis?
Although arthritis cannot be avoided, people can monitor their joints for signs of the disease as they age.
Stay active: Regular hand exercises can help keep the joints functioning longer. Hand exercises can also reduce pain and stiffness if the person already has arthritis.
Reduce sugar intake: Excessive consumption of processed sugar causes the body to release pro-inflammatory proteins called cytokines. Cytokine levels are already high when you have inflammatory arthritis; chronic inflammation is what causes pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints.
Do not smoke: Smoking increases the risk of infections, alters innate defense mechanisms, and also increases radiological joint damage.
