Pain between the thumb and index finger. Problems of bones, muscles and joints. Points on the hand and mudras for headaches

In everyday life, people constantly accompany their speech with hand movements and facial expressions. Most often this happens unconsciously, but sometimes gestures are used intentionally to enhance the emotional and expressive coloring of words, to demonstrate one’s mood, attitude towards the situation or interlocutor. Having studied some finger gestures and their meaning, you can succinctly formulate any message and quickly convey it to others, as the deaf and dumb do. Let's look at the most common signs and explain their meaning.

Thumbs up and down

With a gesture thumbs up Everyone has known each other almost since childhood. Usually it symbolizes approval or agreement, accompanied by an appropriate nod, so it is always perceived positively in our country. Often used by voting travelers on the road when it is necessary to stop transport. However, you need to be careful when using your fingers to communicate with foreigners, because in the sign language of the inhabitants of Australia, Greece and Great Britain such a sign is regarded as an obscene expression, and among Arabs it is generally associated with the male genital organ.

When thumb down, the gesture takes on the opposite meaning - that is, an expression of dissatisfaction, dissatisfaction. Today it is reflected on social networks and the YouTube channel. The pictogram depicting it is called a “dislike”.

Forefinger

The next gesture is not so unambiguous and is deciphered depending on the situation, taking into account additional signals. This is the index finger up. There are several options for its interpretation:

• applied to the center of the lips - asked to remain silent;
• raised vertically at head level or higher - require attention or stop immediately;
• move it from side to side - express their disagreement or prohibition;
• shake up and down - teach or threaten with punishment;
• twisted at the temple - they show that the person is out of his mind.

By his position during a conversation, they determine whether a person is telling the truth or lying. If, for example, the eyes are looking in one direction, and the index finger is pointing in the other and slightly bent, then the interlocutor is most likely insincere.

Middle finger up

Ever since ancient Rome in almost all civilized countries the meaning of the gesture is middle finger was indecent and offensive. Extended upward, it symbolizes today the male genital organ. This is a rough form of the phrase "Get out!" or “Fuck off!” among young people. In our country, it is borrowed from cool American action films and vulgar 18+ youth comedies.

Crossing your fingers

The hand is very often used by superstitious people as a magical tool that can scare away evil spirits and attract good luck. In their understanding, crossed fingers (index and middle) have protective power. This gesture signifies the unity of faith and strength and is associated with the cross. One of the fingers symbolizes hope for a better outcome, and the other - help and support. Sometimes they are intertwined on both hands and hidden behind the back in order to lie, but at the same time avoid punishment from higher powers.

Research by British scientists from University College proves that such actions are not unfounded. They even found scientific confirmation. In their opinion, the gesture really helps reduce painful sensations. But don’t even think about showing it to a Vietnamese unless you want to seriously offend him.

Two fingers up V – victory

In Russia and many others European countries the gesture of two fingers with an open palm means absolute victory or confidence in the proximity of its achievement. This is due to the fact that the index and middle fingers, pointing high, look like the letter V. That, in turn, is an abbreviation for the Latin word Victoria - victory. For the first time in the world, the sign was used by Winston Churchill. However, it is also not universal for everyone. The British, Australians and New Zealanders will consider the gesture an insult if the back of the hand is turned towards them. In Russia, this option is interpreted as the number 2.

Three fingers up

It is known that during the Second World War German soldiers greeted the commander-in-chief during the oath, showing three fingers at the same time - thumb, index and middle. In the Russian mind, this sign means the number or quantity 3.

Goat

Few people know that the gesture, in which all fingers are clenched into a fist, except for the index and little fingers, is attributed protective properties, so it is often used by magicians when performing mystical rituals. However, thanks to rock stars, he is more familiar to people as the “rocker goat.” In combination with a protruding tongue, it expresses insolence or a state of madness.

In Russia, “goat” can be deciphered to demonstrate one’s power and superiority over others. It also serves as a comic imitation of butting cattle.

Shaka and tongue between fingers

Many people associate a hand clenched into a fist with a protruding thumb and little finger near the ear with telephone conversation, request or promise to call back. But if the action is accompanied by a characteristic tilt of the head or touching the little finger to the lips, then it takes on a different meaning associated with a call to drink alcoholic beverages and use narcotic cigarettes.

In Hawaii, "Shaka" is seen as a sign of greeting. It is popular among athletes in surfing, skydiving and Brazilian jiu-jitsu wrestling. It is also used to express jubilation by some famous football players who have scored a goal.

OK

The generally accepted meaning of the gesture is to notify others that there is no problem and everything is fine. The residents' favorite sign. However, in Turkey it is offensive to those to whom it is addressed, as it implies an accusation of non-traditional sexual orientation.

Fig or fig

Russians have a curled fist with the thumb sticking out between the other two - this is a contemptuous form of refusal. IN ancient Rus' the fig symbolized coitus, could be used to scare away evil spirits. There are several other names - shish, fig, dulya. But if for a resident of Russia it means an insult, mockery, then for a Brazilian it means protection from the evil eye or a talisman to attract good luck. That is why you can find pendants, pendants and figurines depicting figs there.

Spire folded with fingertips

As psychologists note, balanced individuals who are confident in their strengths and their own competence connect their fingertips with a “house”. A spiel can mean thinking at the moment of making an important decision or demonstrate increased interest in the words of the interlocutor.

In the practice of yoga, the fingertips closed in rings help to meditate, find peace, and focus on the main thing.

Rubbing the tips of others with your thumb

Such manipulation can be seen in crime films. It means banknotes that are virtually crunchy in your hands. Another such gesture is used at a time when you need to clarify your thought, or urgently remember something, but it just doesn’t work out.

Interlocked fingers

Clenched hands serve as a kind of psychological barrier. May inform about various states person:

• on the head - anxiety, confusion, shock;
• on the knees - hidden tension, stiffness;
• in front of you, while your head is directed upward - an expression of distrust of the information provided, disagreement with the opinion expressed.

Agree with business partner, whose fingers are tightly clasped in a lock, it is very difficult. To help him relax, you need to invite him to watch something and then try to discuss the issue again.

In most countries, an outstretched palm means “stop.” In a conversation, a gesture formulates a request to stop, to stop doing something.

It is also a sign of greeting people and saying goodbye to them. Depends on what the situation is. However, the Greeks use such a friendly five to express negative emotions. Namely, the desire to move on the face. They call this manipulation munza, and it has a funny origin story. Thus, at the dawn of the Byzantine Empire, the judge had a way of humiliating punishment of petty criminals - smearing ashes on the face of the offender.

Inviting gesture with index finger

With a bent finger extended forward, people most often call to themselves someone with whom they want to sort things out. It is perceived by a person as a joke, but sometimes it can offend. It is a sign of a lack of culture among those who use it.

Fist

Clenching a fist shows strong tension, readiness to repel an enemy's attack, and also means an open threat, an intention to hit in the face. Symbolizes power.

Russian and English alphabet with gestures

The language of the deaf and mute is the main way they interact with the outside world. It allows people with hearing and speech impairments to communicate. Each gesture corresponds to a letter of the alphabet or a word. This can be presented more clearly in the form of a table.

As you can see, the same gestures can be interpreted in different ways. This is why they should be interpreted as a system and not individually. And only use it when appropriate.

Heads, shoulders, knees and... lacrimal caruncle?

We are used to thinking that we know everything or almost everything about ourselves. But in the human body there is great amount parts of the body whose names we don’t even know. And now you have the opportunity for the first time to call a spade a spade and get to know the nameless parts of yourself.
Additionally, you will be able to impress people with your amazing knowledge of anatomy and physiology. And from now on it will be much easier for you to communicate with doctors (believe me, they also like to call things by their proper names).

Body part called glabella

Many people would do well to thin it out

Well hello, dear reader - meet Glabella! This is the place above the bridge of the nose and between the eyebrows. Its name comes from the Latin “glabellus,” which means “hairless,” but even the most beautiful people on the planet can have problems with hair in this part of the body. But wait... If Frida Kahlo can sport a unibrow and still become one of the world's greatest artists, then why should mere mortals care about some glabella hairiness? Perhaps you just need to invest in some good tweezers - and the problem is solved.
By the way, the glabella can be useful: if you pinch the skin on it with your fingers and it does not smooth out, this is a sign of dehydration. This simple test could one day save your life.

Filtrum

An angel's fingerprint or just a cleavage?

The small hollow under the nose is the “philtrum,” or philtrum. In fairy tales, this is the place of the touch of an angel, erasing memories of a past life.
In mammals like dogs, the philtrum helps keep the nose moist, which contributes greatly to any canine's amazing olfactory abilities.
In humans, the philtrum has ceased to perform practical functions, however, it can also help in diagnosing diseases: contracted walls of the philtrum may indicate alcoholism or Prader-Willi syndrome. A wide philtrum is associated with Down syndrome (most often in boys).

Human nostrils

A nostril made up of nostrils - the world will never be the same

Let's focus on the nose area. Essentially, each of your nostrils is made up of many small nostrils. The nasal septum, which “cool” young people love to pierce, has its own wings, which are called “columella nasi”. Now you know everything about your nose.

Hallux

It sounds proud, but it means something that causes pain in the night.

You still call this body part your big toe. Sounds somewhat ordinary, don’t you think? But they could proudly call him “Hallux”, like some ancient Greek god!
Most likely, you do not remember its existence until the moment you hit a piece of furniture, however, it is it that helps you maintain balance and vertical position. Absence thumb- a valid reason for refusing to serve the Motherland (this is why many “craftsmen” shoot themselves in the feet).

Morton's finger

Even the Statue of Liberty has it. And you?

Continuing the topic of leg mysteries, let's talk about what many people experience.
Morton's toe is a physiological feature in which the index toe is longer than the big toe. This does not cause any harm to health (not counting problems with choosing shoes). However, in Ancient Greece such a finger was considered the standard of beauty, and even the Statue of Liberty was created with such a “defect.”

Fistful (Gowpen)

An unknown Scandinavian word, knowledge of which will be useful

Oddly enough, there is not even a hint of a similar word in the Russian language. If you believe the encyclopedias, it reads “geupen”. In fact, this word does not denote a part of the body as such, but denotes the function of carrying something in the folded palms in such a way that they turn into a container (the closest translation is “cupping the hands” or “handful”).
The etymology of the word itself goes back to the Old Norse gaupn, which means "a hollow made of hands joined together to form the shape of a bowl." After all, the Vikings thought creatively.

Anatomical snuff box

Everyone take a sniff of tobacco literary heroes they took it from her

It sounds like something from the sexual sphere, but it is far from true. The snuffbox is the natural indentation on the outside of the hand, between the thumb and index finger.
This part of the body got its name due to the fact that it was convenient to sniff tobacco from it. A very pragmatic attitude towards your body.

Frenum

Bridle and bridle are different

A simple bridle, but how beautiful it sounds! In fact, there are many frenulums on the human body. It is connective tissue that helps moving parts move in a given area. For example, holding the tongue or upper lip.
As you know, men have another frenulum - on the penis. Because of it, problems may arise during sexual intercourse. In addition, this place is popular for piercings. Therefore, you should not Google the word “bridle” at work if you do not want questions from colleagues or superiors.

Tragus

An obscure part of the body, but more interesting with it

Tragus is a small triangular cartilage on outer ear. You can use it to close ear canal, if you press.
Like the frenulum, this body part is popular for piercing, but its natural function is still unknown. Perhaps it serves to detect the source of the sound.

Lanula

A beautiful name for a tender part of the body

The white crescents at the base of the nail are the “lanula.” As one might expect, they got their name from the Latin “lun”, which translates as “moon”. Essentially, this is a second nail under the first, and a very sensitive one at that. Any injury to the lanula entails lifelong deformation of the nail, so it should be protected like the apple of your eye.

Dimples of Venus

So tasty for many cavities

The dimples of Venus, or simply the dimples on the back, have long been considered a symbol of sexuality and female beauty, so it is not surprising that they were named after the Roman goddess of beauty.
There is a common misconception that people with Venus dimples are more sensual, passionate and reach orgasm faster. There is no scientific evidence for this version.
The bad news for those who want to get these cleavages: they can't be created through diet and exercise. Only genetics and nothing more.

Cantus

A mysterious place with its own name

Cantus is called outer corner the palpebral fissure, where the upper and lower eyelids meet. The reason this place needs a name is a mystery shrouded in darkness.

Lacrimal caruncle (Lacrimal curuncle)

Perhaps the strangest part of the body

Everyone wondered what that ball of flesh was in the inner corner of the eye. And this is exactly it - the tearful caruncle. Thanks to him, we cry, or rather, we bring our tears out. Scientists note that the caruncle is a vestigial part of the so-called “third eyelid” (which can even be found in cats - try looking into their eyes while sleeping). For some unknown reason, the human body has abandoned them, although most mammals still boast additional eye protection.

Supersternal groove

Another non-sexual, but erotic body part

Like the dimples of Venus, the supersternal groove is a completely non-sexual part of the body, but is considered one.
If we move away from the topic of sex, this part of the body is an excellent point to strike when defending against an attack. Which side you look at is up to you.

Axilla

Common armpit

The axilla, or simply the “armpit,” is an important part of any person’s body, no matter how much we sometimes want to get rid of it. Sprays, shaving, even removing sweat glands - this is what many people do to get rid of the smell of sweat. Meanwhile, it is the glands located in the axillas that transmit information about their owner to the olfactory receptors of potential sexual partners.

Gynecomastia

Not only women have...breasts

The male breast is a very peculiar part of the body. And in many representatives of the stronger sex they turn not into steel plates of the torso, but into the semblance of female mammary glands. This is possible in adolescence, during the period of hormonal changes. Moreover, in adulthood, gynecomastia is also possible - it is observed in bodybuilders who take steroids for too long. The deviation may go away on its own, but most often surgical intervention is necessary.

Levator Labii Superioris Alaeque Nasi muscle

Elvis left this world, but his smile remained

The favorite muscle of the king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley, has received the status of the muscle with the longest name. She is responsible for your ability to be ironic and smile sarcasticly. Its use would be great for Draco Malfoy to show his hostility at a Muggle party.
The name of this muscle is translated as “lift of both edges of the lip and wing of the nose.” Given that the “sarcastic muscle” is located on both sides of the mouth, most people can demonstrate irony with only one part of it.
There are still a lot of names in the human body, from which to an ordinary person it might get bad. However, with this set you can already pass for an expert in the field of human nature, so keep it for yourself - you won’t regret it.

Our palms, seem to be so close and understandable. And at the same time, how much we don’t know about them. They can tell us both about impending diseases and about those that already exist... We just need to take a closer look at it.

Eastern medicine has long interpreted pain in various areas as signals from internal organs for help, signals that we often do not see or simply do not pay attention to.

I have already written about similar active points on , on , by influencing which you can improve your well-being, I also gave projections of correspondence developing diseases internal organs...

Active points on human hands

Now we'll talk about points on the hands corresponding to our bodies:

Projection of organs on the palm

In the figure you can see that thumb hands are responsible for the organs located in the head, the highest - ring and middle fingers- represented by legs, outer toes - little finger and index finger - hands accordingly.

The main part of the palm is responsible for the internal organs of our body. Reflexologists work on these points.

In order to improve your health, it is not at all necessary to immediately go to the enlightened Chinese. We ourselves can activate the organs and direct energy in the right direction with the help of hand massage.

Massage of hands and fingers

Acupressure of the hands is very tonic, improves blood circulation, restores lost energy, and removes peculiar energy “blockages”. Such blockages for blood circulation and energy circulation are usually located at the joints of bones. For the hands this is the wrist joint, for the lower extremities it is the ankle.

We begin the palm massage with gentle rubbing, as if washing hands dry . You can apply cream or oil for better glide across the palm and at the same time nourish the skin of your hands.

We interlace our fingers, squeeze tightly and pull in different directions. Pull with tension, feeling how phalanges stretch out .

The next exercise is to massage each finger individually, especially carefully moving along the side surfaces of the fingers. Many points are located at the base of the fingers, where they are attached to the palm.

If it shows up somewhere soreness , then we devote this place increased attention, gently rubbing and kneading it. The sensation should be on the verge of pain.

Our limbs contain many nerve endings, both in our hands and feet. Of course, the sensitivity of our hands is much more developed, we feel more with them, we perceive more. And by influencing the hands, we have many chances to influence the functioning of internal organs.

Let's connect paired fingers of the right and left hands, vigorously pull . Sometimes during this exercise a clicking sound is heard. It's not scary. It’s just that you haven’t warmed up your finger joints for so long that the amount synovial fluid in them has decreased. When, at any opportunity, this can already indicate a deficiency in the body.

We bend and unbend them to the limit of our capabilities, trying to fix them at the end of the bend and unbend. Even if it’s for 5-10 seconds.

The next exercise we begin massage your palm. Slowly, thoughtfully, literally millimeter by millimeter, walking along the bones of the metacarpus, along the tubercles, small depressions, lines.

Certainly guess by the lines of the hand We will not, however, identify diseases by the hand, if you take a closer look at its features, you can learn a lot of new and useful things about the state of your health.

What are you going to tell me, my dear? Signs of illness on the palm

• Red palms talk about liver damage. It is also worth checking the liver if the palms become yellowish tint.

Let me remind you that nicotinic acid has nothing to do with smoking and nicotine; it is contained in dairy products, fish, meat, buckwheat, beans, mushrooms, cabbage.

• If palms are hot even in the winter cold, unfortunately this does not indicate radiant health, but that your liver can no longer cope with its cleansing function and cannot deactivate the received medications, alcohol and other chemical components.

• Numbness in fingertips , especially the little fingers, speaks of problems with the cardiovascular system, if problems with the respiratory system can overtake.

• When they start to get desperateitching on the sides of the fingers you should not expect the fulfillment of the sign that the hands arewIf you are looking for big money, itching is more likely to indicate intestinal diseases.

• Askin thickening on the index fingers and some roughness of the skin in these places indicates problems with the gallbladder.

• Changes in joint shape only the lazy will not notice, these are clearly deformations due to arthrosis, arthritis, they can develop in advanced stage.

Pain in the hand between the index and thumb

Causes of pain in the hand

Symptoms of pain in the hand can be caused by various diseases. One of the groups of these diseases is various damages hands, for example, bruise, fracture, sprain. Another group is diseases that affect the hand: inflammation, pathology of joints, bones, cartilage.

Fractures, sprains, dislocations

Under these circumstances, not only pain in the hand may occur, but also deformation of bone tissue, sprained ligaments, swelling, and tumors. The pain can be sharp or nagging. In this case, the hand's movements are greatly limited. If not treated correctly, the arm (or hand) may lose mobility.

Ligament rupture, ligament sprain

When a person bends their arm or hand sharply, they can stretch or tear ligaments. In this case, the symptoms are the same as for fractures or bruises. The wrist hurts, the hand is swollen, it’s difficult to make even slight movements, let alone increased load. Such damage and such pain must be treated as soon as possible to avoid complex consequences.

Pathology of the tendons of the hand

With pathologies of the tendons, it is difficult to move the hands, pain in the hand, tumors, and swelling occur. These unpleasant and painful sensations may be accompanied by pain that prevents a person from sleeping normally and working fully. If you do not help a person with such injuries in time, his condition may worsen significantly, and then treatment will take much more time and effort. Inflammation of the tendons can be localized in different areas the hands and their reasons are also different.

This is a condition in which the flexor tendons that connect the metacarpal bones to the wrist become inflamed. Tendinitis is a disease typical of athletes or those who often carry heavy weights or constantly work with their hands. It could even be embroidery at home. So if you are doing this kind of work and your wrist hurts. It is highly recommended to consult a doctor for treatment. Otherwise, pain that is not severe at first can gradually turn into acute pain.

With this disease, the tendons of the hand and wrist joint. The most characteristic symptoms are pain in the hand, the index finger and thumb begin to move poorly due to pain in them.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (also called carpal syndrome)

Another name for this disease is carpal tunnel syndrome. In this case, the nerve that is located in the wrist between the three walls of the bones and the carpal flexor retinaculum becomes inflamed. This is a very painful feeling. The wrist hurts very badly, the pain in the hand is sharp, the hand may become numb and its mobility is limited. Finger mobility may also be severely limited. Carpal tunnel syndrome can occur in office workers who often work at the computer for long periods of time, musicians who play an instrument for a long time without breaks, sculptors, surgeons, and watchmakers.

If a person still holds his hands incorrectly and strains them too much, his risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome increases. As a result, if this condition is not treated, the person will be unable to work and will develop tunnel neuropathy.

Pathologies of the wrist joints

The hand may also hurt due to the development of pathology of the wrist joints. The pain can be sharp and sharp, or it can be nagging, long-lasting, annoying, and exhausting. These pains can be manifestations of arthritis and result in complications.

Deforming osteoarthritis

This is a disease in which the cartilage of the radial joints of the wrist is damaged. One of the most common causes of this disease is fractures of the carpal bones that have not healed properly. Osteoarthritis with tissue deformation may also be a consequence improper metabolism or genetic abnormalities. The most characteristic symptoms of this disease are severe pain in the wrist and pain even when pressing a finger on the hand.

This disease affects the small joints of the hand, especially the wrist joint. At the same time, it’s not just the hand that hurts. A person cannot control his own fingers. At risk – fine motor skills of the hands, the mobility of the hand and fingers are individually impaired.

In this case, you must definitely consult a doctor for examination and treatment. If the process of developing arthritis is not taken into account and no action is taken, it will develop further. Careful diagnosis and equally thorough treatment are required. Otherwise, chronic inflammation may develop not only in the area of ​​the hand, but also in the vital important organs. For example, the lungs and heart suffer. Arthritis can also have fatal consequences.

Pathological process in the bones of the wrist

This process can be triggered by a blow, inflammation or sprain. Pathology of the wrist bones can develop for other reasons. Moreover misdiagnosis happens very often. Sometimes a patient goes to a clinic or emergency room with complaints of a sprained ligament, but upon careful diagnosis it turns out that he has pathological process in bone tissue. For example, necrosis (death) of bone tissue. Therefore, careful attention to any pain in the hand is vital.

Avascular or aseptic necrosis

This serious illness, which is characterized by destruction of the wrist bone - partial or complete. When bone tissue dies, the area becomes inflamed and very painful even with normal light pressure on the hand. Bone necrosis can be caused by inflammation or bone damage. Diagnosing this pathology is quite difficult, because necrosis can masquerade as another disease, for example, arthritis or osteoarthritis.

How is the hand structured?

As a rule, a person's wrist hurts most often. This is one of the sections of the arm that connects the bones of the forearm with the bone tissue of the hand. The wrist is small, but it is a very complex formation. It consists of 8 bones of a multifaceted structure. Since the wrist is located at the very end of the limb, it is constantly loaded - a person is always wearing something. Therefore, it is no wonder that the wrist can greatly affect a person’s performance if it hurts. And it is not surprising that with constant stress, the wrist (and therefore the hand) can hurt.

Who should you contact if you have pain in your hand?

Pain in the hand - serious symptom, which cannot be ignored. Consulting a doctor should be your first step towards hand health.

If you have pain in your hand, you need to see a doctor, because this pain can soon become chronic. Especially if the load continues. If you self-medicate, this may worsen the situation. To determine what problems you have with your wrist and hand, you need to see a traumatologist, surgeon or rheumatologist.

What pain points are there on the hand?

This point is slightly lower armpit. When you press it, the enemy will not be neutralized, but will feel severe pain. Since this point is very difficult to reach, it is not effective.

IN axillary region The brachial artery passes through and contains several nerve endings. Therefore, when struck, the nerves are affected and sometimes damaged, resulting in paralysis of the arm. In addition, if an artery is damaged by a knife blow, this can even lead to fatal outcome(if the bleeding is not stopped in a timely manner).

When you hit this point, it feels as if an electric discharge has passed through your hand. This is a very painful point because part of the ulnar nerve is located here. If the elbow is severely damaged, sharp pain will be felt in the arm and shoulder. The successful outcome of many battles will depend on the power of the blow to the point.

In addition, even a slight blow to elbow joint if the arm is straightened, it can damage it and break the arm.

In the palm, the nerve endings run from the thumb, then cross the outer side of the entire palm and reach along the rib to the little finger. Nerve endings are especially sensitive in three places: between the thumb and index finger, between the middle and ring fingers, and along the bone near the little finger.

In the area of ​​the hand between the thumb and index finger there are ligaments, so when you press on this place it becomes, at least, unpleasant. But if the opponent has strong hands, then there is no point in putting pressure on this point, since this will not lead to the desired result.

If a penetrating force is applied to the points, a sensation of sharp pain will arise in the hand. These places are often hit with the aim of knocking various objects out of their hands.

Fingers are very vulnerable and can easily be damaged or broken. Very often the opponent's fingers are damaged so that he does not have the opportunity to clench his fist. It is enough to dislocate just one finger to protect yourself from many of the enemy's grappling techniques.

If the fight is with knives, then the fingers are the main target, since after their injury the enemy is practically defenseless.

Hands are very good targets for an opponent, since access to them is usually open. Blows to the above points cause severe pain, and if heavy blows are applied to them, they can even lead to broken arms.

It is especially useful to know the location of pressure points on the hands of women and children for self-defense.

Traditional medicine recipes

Probably, having read the entire extensive list above, you are now thinking with horror that it will be very difficult to understand so many diseases and understand which of them is causing pain in your fingers. But actually it is not. It won't be too difficult to figure it out.

For example, two diseases immediately stand out from general list- these are carpal tunnel syndrome and Raynaud's syndrome, they, as already mentioned, always occur with numbness of the hands. Therefore, if pain in your fingers is combined with numbness, read articles about carpal tunnel syndrome and Raynaud's syndrome.

If you have pain in your fingers, but there is no obvious numbness in your hands, you can safely exclude carpal tunnel syndrome and Raynaud's syndrome from the list under consideration. Other diseases of the fingers have such characteristic symptoms that it is most often not difficult to distinguish one disease from another. And below I will tell you about these characteristic symptoms. All you have to do is read carefully and compare your feelings with my descriptions. So:

Polyosteoarthrosis of the fingers, “knotty fingers”

Polyosteoarthrosis of the fingers accounts for approximately 40% of all cases of pain in the fingers. People at least 40-45 years old are sick (people under 40 years old suffer from this disease exclusively in rare cases), but especially often people aged 50-55 years and older suffer from polyosteoarthrosis of the fingers. Women get sick much more often than men.

Numbness of the fingers of the right hand due to osteochondrosis

Numbness of the fingers of the right hand can be observed with osteochondrosis of the cervical spine, protrusion and intervertebral hernia.

Degenerative-dystrophic changes in the spine are characterized by a decrease intervertebral discs and loss of elasticity of the fibrous ring. This leads to the so-called radicular syndrome. Most often, when the roots are pinched, the pain radiates from the neck along the shoulder blades and the radial surface of the forearm to the hand. The localization of pain and numbness in the fingertips, both right and left, directly depends on which root is subject to compression:

Other factors that cause pain in the joints of the hands include septic infections, syphilis and tuberculosis, diabetes, injuries, constant vibration, and hypothermia.

Finger joints hurt - diagnosis

In some cases, contacting a doctor is necessary. You should not postpone your visit if:

— the joints of the fingers hurt after an injury, there is swelling and deformation of the joint;

— the index fingers or other joints hurt, and the pain cannot be relieved with the help of conventional painkillers;

Characteristically, the pain intensifies at night in the morning. Very often, all these pains are accompanied by fever, weakness, chills, and so on.

Carpal or carpal tunnel syndrome (from the Greek karpos - wrist) causes numbness of the thumb of the right hand, numbness of the index finger of the right hand, numbness of the middle finger of the right hand and half of the ring finger. IN in this case The median nerve is compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel.

This happens from constant tension during prolonged static and dynamic load on one muscle group and on the wrist joint (for example, when working at a computer, as well as among painters, seamstresses, violinists). This syndrome is also called stenotic ligamentosis of the transverse ligaments by narrow specialists: when excessive loads on the hand, the tendons of the wrist joint swell and compress the nerve trunk. It is for this reason that the fingers become numb, and numbness in the fingers of the right hand often occurs at night, and in the morning a person may feel stiffness in finger movements.

Carpal tunnel syndrome can also appear with diseases such as arthrosis, arthritis, neurofibroma, hemangioma, etc. It is necessary to treat this syndrome, since the muscles of the thumb may atrophy and a person will not be able to bend it.

Numbness of the index finger of the right hand

If measures are not taken in time, the lumen in the arteries of the upper extremities may narrow even further, and blood circulation may be impaired. The pain in the index finger increases even with slight exertion. The pulse in the area of ​​the radial artery weakens.

Rare causes of index finger pain

Only a specialist can determine what specific illness is causing the pain in the joints of the fingers or why the hands began to go numb. It is the doctor who, using professional methods, can identify real reasons, symptoms and prescribe the necessary treatment.

How the treatment works:

The pain is very severe, observed both at rest and with movement. The finger is enlarged, red, the skin over it is hot. The defeat is asymmetrical. Diagnosis is aided by the patient's indication of a history of psoriatic skin rash or its current presence.

Vibration disease

Occurs in people who work with hand-held power tools that produce vibration. With prolonged exposure, local vibration disease, which has several stages.

At the beginning, patients complain of transient pain, numbness, and a feeling of pins and needles in the fingers. Further, the pain becomes more pronounced, the sensitivity of the skin of the fingers is gradually lost, and other types of sensitivity, for example, temperature and vibration, also disappear. Vascular tone is impaired and Raynaud's syndrome may additionally occur. On last stage Trophic complications develop (ulcers, gangrene), which threatens the loss of individual fingers or the entire hand.

In addition to the above, we will dwell in more detail on another disease of the wrist - peritendinitis with a characteristic symptom for self-diagnosis - a slightly perceptible creaking.

Peritendinitis (tenosynovitis, tenosynovitis)

The disease affects the tendons of the wrist joint and longus muscle thumb, resulting in impaired mobility of the thumb and index finger.

Peritendinitis may be a consequence bacterial infection or rheumatism.

This disease can be independently identified by a combination of the following symptoms: pain in the wrist; swelling of the back of the wrist (pressure in this area causes pain); When you actively move your fingers, a gentle creaking sound (suede crepitus) appears, which is noticeable to the touch and sometimes even audible. A number of other diseases cause similar symptoms: carpal tunnel syndrome; myotendinitis of the forearm; inflammatory diseases wrist joint; radiation styloiditis (affecting radius forearm). To clarify the disease, it is done X-ray, which will show thickening of the soft tissue over the styloid process of the wrist on the thumb side with peritendinitis.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Help Yourself

Do you spend days working at your computer, trying not to notice the feeling of numbness in your hand that has been tormenting you for several months? Do you sometimes feel a sudden, sharp and stabbing pain and “shootings” through the entire wrist? And sometimes, out of the blue, your arm cramps? These are all the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome - painful condition caused by progressive compression of key nerves in the wrist. So, carpal tunnel syndrome - help yourself - is the topic of conversation for today.

What is carpal tunnel syndrome?

This condition is a condition of discomfort caused by compression of the medial nerve in the carpal tunnel (on the inside of the arm above the crease). Unpleasant sensations are characterized by the fact that they begin to appear at night on the inner surface of the hands or at the level of the middle finger. Sometimes even sleep disturbances and everyday fatigue occur. Often at the initial stage the disease is difficult to recognize; individual symptoms are “attributed” to general fatigue

The medial nerve controls sensation in the palm of the thumb and the fingers themselves (except the little finger). Nerve impulses from a small group of muscles in the arm are, in turn, responsible for more subtle movements. Sometimes lumps resulting from inflammation of the tendons compress the nerves. The pain can be expressed as a sharp numbness in the palm and often radiates to the shoulder. Although these painful sensations can signal other problems in the body, carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common injury condition. peripheral nerves in the human body.

Unpleasant sensations and pain can move from the hands to the finger, forearm, shoulders and back. Swelling and movement disorders often appear. Often, such conditions are caused by physical activity associated with stretching the arms: riding a bicycle, washing hands, some exercises and much more. Oddly enough, but most common reason- not physical activity, but, on the contrary, sitting in one place, namely at the computer for a long time. When symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome begin to appear, any questionable activity should be stopped. Ask your fitness instructor how to properly structure your future workouts, consult your doctor for a recommendation, but do not try to act on the “help yourself” principle. This is a serious condition that must be treated to avoid complications and additional injury.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the result of a combination of factors that often result in increased pressure on the medial nerves and the actual carpal tendons. This disorder has genetic predisposition- for example, smaller canal size in some people. Other factors include injury or mutilation of the wrist and subsequent inflammation, sprain, fracture, hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, tendon problems, overload, fluid retention during pregnancy or menopause, carpal tunnel cysts or tumors. In some cases, the disease cannot be identified.

Symptoms usually appear gradually. First there is numbness, burning or hardening in the palm and fingers, especially between the thumb and index finger, middle and ring fingers, but never in the little finger area. Often, patients who experience a flare-up or numbness in their fingers no longer have any signs of inflammation or loss of sensation. Symptoms may appear first on one or both hands at night, especially if the wrists are flexed. To relieve pain and numbness, you can do simple swings of your hands or massage your hands together. When symptoms worsen and no action is taken, symptoms occur more frequently throughout the day. It is difficult to clench the hand into a fist, weakness develops, which prevents very fine movements of the fingers. If left untreated, the thumb area may become incapacitated, it will even be difficult to distinguish between sensations such as cold and heat, and sensitivity to pain will be dulled.

Please note the following features:

Who is at risk for developing carpal tunnel syndrome?

Women are three times more likely to suffer from this disease than men, possibly due to small size channel. Carpal tunnel syndrome is very general state. Approximately 30% of men and 70% of women have experienced this condition at some point in their lives.

The dominant hand is always under threat. People suffering from diabetes or other metabolic diseases that directly affect the nerves are also at risk. This disease is usually observed in adults and is extremely rare in children.

Treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome should begin as early as possible (when the first symptoms are detected) and must be under the supervision of a doctor. First, causes such as diabetes or arthritis should be considered. Initial treatment usually involves resting the affected hand, wrist, or wrist for at least two weeks, during which the patient should not engage in activities that could worsen the condition of the limb. It is often necessary to immobilize the hand with a stiff bandage or even a cast to prevent twisting and bending of the carpal tunnel. And if there is inflammation, cold compresses should be applied to relieve pain and swelling.

Various medications may relieve pain and swelling associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. Aspirin and other drugs that can relieve symptoms for a relatively short period of time are usually prescribed. a short time. Corticosteroids such as prednisone or lidocaine can be injected directly into the wrist or taken orally (prednisolone). They release and eventually relieve pressure on the medial nerve. Corticosteroids should be used with caution in diabetics and people predisposed to diabetes, which makes it difficult to regulate insulin levels. It has been shown that taking vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) can relieve symptoms of the syndrome.

Exercises - stretching and strengthening your arms will definitely be a good thing. But their implementation should be carried out under the supervision of a physiotherapist who is specially trained for this.

Alternative therapy- acupuncture results in improvement in some patients, but long-term effectiveness this method remains unproven. An exception is yoga, which has been shown to reduce pain and strengthen tendons among people with long-term tendon strains.

Surgical correction of carpal tunnel is one of the most common surgical procedures in USA. For some patients, surgery is the only option to return to a normal lifestyle. This issue is recommended for symptoms to persist for at least 6 months. This procedure involves removing part of the tissue that is putting pressure on the medial nerve and is performed under local anesthesia. The stay in the clinic is only 1 day. Many patients require plastic surgery on both hands. In "open" surgeries (the traditional approach), a five-centimeter incision is made in the wrist and then an incision is made in the wrist ligaments that extend along the carpal tunnel.

Endoscopic surgery allows you to speed up the flow of intervention and provide short postoperative period to reduce possible inconvenience. In this case, two centimeter incisions are made on the wrist and arm, a camera is inserted that looks inside the ligament tissue - and the tendon connections are cut. The entire procedure is observed on the screen.

Although symptoms subside almost completely after surgery, full recovery takes months. Some patients develop infection, nerve damage, hardening of the palm tissue, and other consequences. Subsequent physical therapy sessions help overcome the effects of ligament contraction. Most patients recover completely; very rarely, symptoms may regress.

Local steroid injections

Steroid injections are effective enough to temporarily suppress the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome - help yourself by learning this simple method. These are not long-term strategies designed to treat patients to improve lifestyle. This procedure is not suitable for long-term therapy - corticosteroids have their own side effects. long-term use, at least they are starting to lose their power.

There is evidence that the use of physical therapy leads to lasting relief of symptoms in patients with this problem. Most often it is aimed at eliminating symptoms chronic pain. Physical therapy offers several ways to prevent and treat carpal tunnel syndrome. Treatments targeting pain (symptoms) and dysfunction. Includes a range of treatments from soft tissue massage and stretching to exercises and techniques to directly stimulate the nerves of the hands. Warming up is very effective in this case. In this case, one condition must be met - complete rest and no tension on the hands for at least an hour after the procedure.

In workplaces, it is necessary to do stretching exercises from time to time and take frequent short breaks. You should not engage in activities that place your wrists under constant pressure or strain in any way. Some people resort to wearing mittens to keep their hands warm and thus maintain their flexibility. But this, as you understand, is not always acceptable. In general, this problem is solvable and with the proper approach it is quite possible to save yourself from trouble.

So trouble overtook me! I am 54 years old. About two and a half months ago I noticed numbness in the little finger of my left hand. I thought it would go away, but I was wrong... I read about it on the Internet and realized that I had to go to the doctor. I went to the local police officer through whom a referral to a neurologist was given, they said that there were no coupons and it was unlikely they will be there in the near future, they told me to wait. After two months of waiting, I noticed a muscle failure on my left hand between the thumb and index finger of my left hand. This worried me greatly. I went to see a neurologist for a breakthrough. And lo and behold, I got there! They sent me for an MRI and an EMG. I went through these procedures, as a result, the neurologist reviewed the conclusions and consulted with a neurosurgeon and did not say anything definite what to do. MRI revealed chondrosis and nothing more. EMG 1 - pronounced axial type disorder and conduction slowdown at the level of the forearm and the elbow joint region, significantly expressed at the regional level .elbow joint - probable tunnel syndrome at the level of the elbow joint region (compare with the clinic) 2 - slight slowing of conduction at the most distal site (muscle-distal point) along the n.medianus sin without disturbing the amplitude of the M-response. This is the picture, what should I do? Tell me people!!! I heard a strange answer from the doctors - live like this! This doesn’t suit me......

Indicate your profession, and also accurately describe the areas on the hand with impaired sensitivity (forearm, hand, which fingers).

21.12.2009, 18:14

Does the numbness extend to the edge of the palm? Indeed, it is very similar to tunnel neuropathy, especially since the profession predisposes it.

22.12.2009, 22:46

Let it spread!

I heard a strange answer from the doctors - live like this! It doesn’t suit me......
A very strange answer. If you really have cubital tunnel syndrome and a “failure” between 1-2 fingers, then such a pathology, even in this condition, needs to be operated on quickly. Go to another neurosurgeon. Over time, it will only get worse - the hand will “shrink”.

23.12.2009, 06:54

If you really have cubital tunnel syndrome...... then such a pathology and in this condition must be operated on quickly.
Not at all necessary! Along with tunnel neuropathy in the cubital canal, it is possible (and, in this case, most likely) compression of the nerve in Guyon's bed at the level of the wrist. I recommend consulting with an experienced neurologist/hand surgeon about this. Possible variant treatment, in addition to medication, is the introduction of an anesthetic into the tunnel area.

I finally made my way to a neurologist. She prescribed Proserin, Eudyllin (if I’m writing correctly, the prescription is illegible), but B1 B but B12 and physical therapy. She said it would pass.....More Trental tablets! Do you think it will help, dear ones? She said there was no reason to go to the surgeon, and I don’t want to either. Although if I were literate and 100% confident, I wouldn’t refuse...

Hello!
I have the same symptoms as in the topic and have been diagnosed with ulnar nerve neuropathy. As a person who has undergone a lot of research, I would advise you to do an ultrasound of the nerve, the picture will immediately become clearer, and with these data, go to a neurosurgeon for a consultation.
I myself, on the advice of doctors, am treating conservatively and I want to say that positive dynamics are observed and the nerve can be cured, but with atrophy everything is more complicated - the muscles will recover, but not completely, and the longer you delay treatment, the more atrophy will progress.
If I could turn back time, I would choose surgery.

23.12.2009, 17:28

Nobody said anything about ultrasound of the nerve. Where exactly should it be done? And what are you treating, please share! Another neurologist advised me not to do Eufelin. For now, what I listed, plus nicotine.

Not at all necessary! Along with tunnel neuropathy in the cubital canal, it is possible (and, in this case, most likely) compression of the nerve in Guyon's bed at the level of the wrist.
Why is Guyon's canal syndrome suddenly more likely in this case than cubital canal? Look at what the patient reports about electrodiagnostic studies.

A possible treatment option, in addition to medication, is by injecting an anesthetic into the tunnel area. Tell us a little about drug treatment. And why inject an anesthetic into the canal area? Is this a therapeutic or some kind of diagnostic procedure?

23.12.2009, 18:55

Look at what the patient reports about electrodiagnostic studies.
And why inject an anesthetic into the canal area? Is this a therapeutic or some kind of diagnostic procedure?

It says “match with clinic”. With the Wallerian process, it is possible to spread in the proximal direction, as well as irradiation of excitation when causing Tinel's symptoms.

It says “match with clinic”.
Comparing with a clinic is a very good suggestion. But the electrodiagnostic does not mention anything about Guyon’s canal. And further. You still haven't explained it. Why is Guyon's canal more likely than the cubital canal?

With the Wallerian process, it is possible to spread in the proximal direction,
It’s hard to imagine that in such a period of time, for no reason at all, Wallerian degeneration “crept” across the entire forearm, 30 centimeters. And this is with compression-ischemic neuropathy (though, if that’s what it is). So it will soon reach the front horns. I have not heard of such “malignancy” and aggressiveness of Guyon’s canal syndrome. Maybe you have literary references. I will be happy to get acquainted with them.

As well as the irradiation of excitation when causing Tinel's symptoms.

Do not quite understand. Why suddenly, when performing the Hoffmann-Tinel test, irradiation is in the proximal direction. Did Tinel write about this? It seems to me that in the distal direction. Yes, and why does everyone forget about poor Hoffmann, and only remember Tinel. Ordinary.

Both diagnostic and therapeutic.

I don't understand again. Explain, preferably with references to reliable literary data (preferably foreign ones).

23.12.2009, 22:05

23.12.2009, 22:18

I don't want to :ab:

And the reason is very clear.

23.12.2009, 22:27

Further conversation makes no sense for the patient, but I don’t want to butt heads - I don’t see the point

25.12.2009, 12:49

How are you treating now? What are you taking, medications, physical therapy?

25.12.2009, 16:20

Gentlemen! I’m still here, and there’s no improvement yet. Maybe you can give me some good advice on treatment, no surgery yet....

A possible cause of the numbness is prolonged compression (microtraumatization) of the ulnar nerve in the palm area on the ulnar side (on the little finger side). I assume that this might be the case. related to your professional activities. The tactic is to objectify the level of compression (this is done during an in-person examination) and perform nerve decompression. Decompression is performed by local administration anesthetic, for example novocaine, into the area of ​​​​compression; in some situations, usually when conservative (medicinal) treatment is ineffective, surgery is performed to “free” the nerve. Drug treatment aimed at improving microcirculation and trophism of the affected nerve, as well as physical therapy, are also carried out.

By whom and when was it proven and established that compression of the ulnar nerve is precisely at the level of the palm? Or maybe it is brachioplexopathy, or cervical radiculopathy, or a tumor of the apex of the lung, or ALS, etc.?

The tactic is to objectify the level of compression (this is done during an in-person examination) and perform nerve decompression.
Absolute support for the proposal.

Decompression is performed by local injection of an anesthetic, such as novocaine, into the area of ​​​​compression,
How is this, how is this? Local anesthetic already causing nerve decompression? Are these your personal observations or verified literature data? If this is written about in the literature, then, once again, please share your knowledge, preferably from foreign publications. And if these are your personal feelings, then there is no need to advise such a patient.

Drug treatment aimed at improving microcirculation and trophism of the affected nerve, as well as physical therapy, are also carried out.
What drug treatment? And where is this written, especially in foreign publications? This question interests me greatly for many reasons.
