Arthritis of the Fingers
Diagnosing arthritis of the fingers can be difficult. Arthritis can affect any joint in the body but it is commonly seen in the joints of the fingers. The different types of arthritis and the pattern of joint involvement include osteoarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gouty arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis. Heberden’s nodes are hard or bony swellings that can develop in the distal interphalangeal joints (DIP) and may or may not be painful. Heberden’s nodes are caused by the formation of osteophytes due to repeated trauma at the joint and usually occurs during middle age. Bouchard’s nodes are bony growths that can form on the proximal interphalangeal joints of the finger (PIP). Bouchard’s nodes, like Heberden’s nodes, may or may not be painful. Bouchard’s nodes are typically associated with limited motion of the affected joint. Mucous cysts are small, fluid-filled sacs that form between the DIP joint of the finger and the bottom of the fingernail. The best treatment is surgical excision of the cyst and removal of the underlying osteophyte to decrease the risk of recurrence. It is an anti-inflammatory form of arthritis, and it is sometimes mistaken for osteoarthritis. Dactylitis is also referred to as “sausage digit”. It is inflammation of the entire digit. Sausage fingers is a major finding of psoriatic arthritis. Nail pitting is small depressions in the finger nails, and it is most common in people who have psoriasis. Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis that is sometimes called “gouty arthritis”. Gouty arthritis will mimic infection and may develop in people who have high levels of uric acid in the blood. The uric acid can form needle like crystals in the joint and cause pain, tenderness, swelling, and tenosynovitis. Periarticular erosions seen on x-ray may also be present with gout of the finger joints. Periarticular erosions are usually multiple and bilateral with sclerotic borders. In juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, it is ANA positive in 30% of the time. Rheumatoid factor is negative in a child and later on it may become positive, and there is shortened digits. Polyarticular rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is a form of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis that affects five or more joints; it is polyarticular in about 30%. Pauciarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a form of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis that affects less than five joints; it is pauciarticular in about 50%. In pauciarticular onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis, check the iris of the eye for iridocyclitis. In polyarticular rheumatoid arthritis, check cervical spine for subaxial instability. Rheumatoid arthritis of the hand occurs more in females than in males. Rheumatoid arthritis has spontaneous remissions and exacerbations. The disease can have a systemic nature. Rheumatoid arthritis is typically poly-articular, bilateral and symmetrical, and most commonly affects the hands and feet. The patient complains of pain and stiffness of the joints, especially in the morning (morning stiffness). X-rays show periarticular erosions at the time of diagnosis. Osteopenia and minimal osteophyte formation favor the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. Early (acute) rheumatoid arthritis has symptoms of hot, swollen, tender joints (synovitis). Complicated rheumatoid arthritis has symptoms of digital vasculitis, ecchymosis, skin atrophy, and nodules. Advanced rheumatoid arthritis has symptoms of swelling of the MCP joint, lateral slippage of extensor tendons and tendon ruptures, ulnar deviation of fingers, and x-ray shows destruction of the MCP joints with subluxation, ulnar deviation, and wrist destruction. Finger deformities include mallet finger, boutonniere, and swan neck. The thumb is also involved. These changes occur due to proliferation, inflammation and hypertrophy of the synovium. Involvement of the distal radioulnar joint is usually associated with rupture of the extensor digiti minimi.

Eliminate sugars and keep carbs low will stop all pain in joints. It did for me and when I went back and ate these foods again excruciating pain came back with a vengeance. Eliminated both sugars and low carb again and in 2 days pain was completely gone again. I’ve started the Ketogenic diet 3 years ago because all my doctor wanted to give me was pain medication and tell me the pain was because of my age. I also lost 40 pounds without really trying and I feel fantastic. I just turned 64. My hands used to hurt and were swollen so bad I could not play the piano because my joints were so swollen and could not sit long on the bench because my back would start hurting so bad. Now I can play and sit with complete ease. Do not take all those medications that do nothing. You HAVE to change what you eat.
It did not work for me over a long period. It's a nice idea that may help some people but things are rarely this simple.
This is so true. My cousin also have arthritis, she completely cut off rice and don't take sugar, it reduce the pain but not completely but I am sure slowly but surely, just keep your eating clean.
Did you have RA or OA type?
@@turntablesrockmyworld9315 May I ask you if you had RA or OA type in your hands?
PSO so hard to reduce or eliminate sugars in my diet, although I know it would be good for me. On the other hand - I already don’t smoke don’t have alcohol at all, and don’t eat fried or fatty foods much due to GERD so that part is easy
@@lisaschooler9992 OA, and also arthritis from a previous injury to finger joints I don't eat sugar during weekdays and just a little on weekends, don't drink much at all, don't eat much fast food or packaged food, don't smoke.
no fastfood - no sugar - raw veggies - less fruits - keto diet- fasting
Years and years of study then we have this brilliant doctor !!! He then gives to us the benefit of his knowledge free...I can only say THANK YOU like thousands of others will
@@albertstone9997 can't find it
@@Narcostic its fake
After a life time of diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis, I got cured with the help of Dr Oyalo remedy whom I met on UA-cam. It has wonderful taking his herbs as there was improvement during the process which I felt and after taking his herbal dosage I was completely cured and till now I’m free. Im glad to share this and you can get his herbs too. 🙏
IM BATTLING BREAST CANCER AND NOW MY POOR JOINTS ARE SWOLLEN AND PAINFUL..😥 I CAN'T EVEN USE MY HANDS ANYMORE..I'M ONLY 57 YEARS OLD. 👱♀️ BUT I'M SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE ANOTHER GLORIOUS DAY. THANK YOU MY GREAT GOD. 😇💕

Rhonda may JESUS BLESS YOU AND CURE YOU OF ALL CANCER 🥳🌹🙏🏻
@@ednaalejandro1211 AWWW..💕THANK YOU .AND HAVE A WONDERFUL BLESSED DAY. 😇

I just sent you a healing prayer video. Also, reading the bible out loud healed my neck, made my bones, joints and whole body feel very much stronger too. I believe it can heal anything so never forget daily bible reading out loud for a few minutes or more. Look up healing scriptures online or maybe all the bible is healing I don't know. Pray every day in Jesus' name and always Tithe faithfully, it can heal so much.
Amazingly well explained. I wish it would include some remedies. Thank you professor Ebraheim.
My body has rheumatoid arthritis. My fingers and hands are exactly as your pictures described them at the endow the video. My RA doctor says there is nothing anyone can do for my fingers and hands. I had 2 knee replacement surgeries this year. I have great new knees. But my left ankle hurts a lot and both feet have severe bunions. I am 67 yrs young and I don’t want to go through surgeries on my feet. I do water aerobics 3 xs a week for 2 hours at a time. I will just continue with my regimen. I have pretty much stopped eating processed sugar and follow a low carb diet. I eat eggs, some red meat, some poultry and some fish. I eat beans, veggies and fruit. I have cut back on potatoes which I love. Who doesn’t? I still eat them but just once a week. I drink water and Topo Chico mineral water.
I pray and read / study my Bible. I trust in my Savior and Lord Jesus Christ to get me through this crappy disease. And pretty much in spite of the RA, I am a happy pappy. Blessings be upon all who read my long winded comment 👍🤠
Lieverd drink ik drink de hele dag gember thee en kunt er ook een smoothie van maken met water en ander fruit citroen of sinaasappel en honing. Het helpt in ieder geval de
pijn terug te dringen Niet op je nuchter maag. Nadat je wat hebt gegeten drink je zoveel je zelf wil, met honing.
Acidosis? I had severe Arthritis and was only able to take 6 inch long steps and was declared disabled by my Doctor. I had two vertebra's spontaneously fuse together and was facing a final destination of a Wheel Chair. Finally I did a 3 day PH test, three times a day (from my saliva and urine) My Ph was 4.6 and that is/was very acid, so my Doctor missed the Acidosis part. So then I started taking baths in about 2 pounds of Soda and the first time I did this my Ph went up (overnight) to a Ph of 8, so I backed off a bit and monitored and kept my Ph at about 7 Ph and after a few weeks I was ale to take full steps/strides. That was 20 years ago and I am still doing good at near 72 years of age. Now of course I eat plenty of fresh vegetables and my Ph is ever so stable.
That's 👏. Which soda did you use? Was that 2pounds for each single bath everyday? Rep please
Eat lots of fresh fruits also.. regional and seasonal.have lots of sunshine after gentle oil massage on the affected joints..try to avoid dairy products and animal protein..may God bless you and all the very best dear..😃
@@avila50 I guess he is/was using sodium bicarbonate aka sodium hydrogen carbonate aka Natron. Do not use baking soda. It is almost the same but has mild acids in it which counters the effect.
@@aeshikarawat1743 Avoid also goat, sheep and fish and chicken?
But what will be the preventive measures for all this????
If you are able, a good Rheumatologist can provide guidance 🙏🏽
Thank you very much because it was so clear, slow and thorough. And it was in a way a lay person can understand.

Where is any hope with arthritis in hands?
Any method?
So much of diagnostics but not much of methods.
My body has definitely changed since having lupus and sjorgins. My rheumatologist recently tested me( blood work) for arthritis and it came back negative. What's weird is my fingers/hands are like this. I know it's not from my cerebral palsy
I think not everyone with Arthritis gets positive blood test.
Thank you so much so much , you help me to identify my finger problem.
Thanks for the video. It was helpful.

Thank you for sharing this different types of arthritis of the fingers .
This information is from someone who knows the pathology, & anatomy of the human body. Even some medical books in pathology mention the different types of arthritis.
Unfortunately treatment is not available as many others autoimmune diseases that the body destroys itself.
The solution is exercise, eat healthy drink water & live in a dry climate to diminish the symptoms.
Thank you 😊 for helping us !
That you Doctor. It seems that we all need to stop the carbs
And SUGAR OF ALL TYPES. PRAY AND EXCERSIZE.

I recommend Dr. Joel Wallach's protocol (You Tube) He's the Mineral Expert who cures just about everything, because almost everything is caused by Nutritional Deficiencies! MSM rebuilds cartilage, muscles, tendons, ligaments etc. and I've recently added this supplement to my protocol as Doc Wallach says. Blessings!
this video is very informative, please give some tips or what we can do to prevent it. thanks.p
If you stop all dairy and milk products and also all gluten and grains , I have completely helped my problems by sticking to a very clean naturopathic diet

@pat fire funny ☺️, a few ppl say moringa you can buy it in capsules or powder from vitamin stores.
Yes it was very helpful . Thank you
Wow... Going three days now with painful swollen fingers 😔woke up like this one morning . Not sure what to do ...
If you have arthritis, the following food will aggravate pain and swelling:
Eggplant, tomatoes/ketchup, bell peppers, mushroom.
If you have too much of these food, it elevates pain.
Where really is written that these food is bad for arthritis? WHERE????
Thank you for sharing
I don't think this advice is right.
Why this plant are good for bad arthritis? Why?
Because everyone day that?
Very useful information
Very, very helpful !!!!
mashAllah very in-depth and easy to understand with the diagrams thank you doctor.
Yes rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. I've had rheumatoid arthritis for almost 18 years now. Your hands and fingers swells pain and stiffness and you drop stuff a lot. I know all about it. Inflammation or the hands are painful and sometimes I can't even write etc.
There are creams for arthritis and i use arthritis gloves. I do wear at night and help with the inflammation and a good healthy diet too
Sounds like our daughter. She has a flare up now. Been going on weeks. She can't hold on to things. Her hands/ fingers swell & very painful. Dr says not RA though. Basically telling her she is fine but physical evidence says otherwise. I think she is on a start of a long journey to find out what is happening to her
What to do to overcome this problem
Please tell the remedies to overtake this artharities.
Do you get swelling with the osteoarthritis? Doctor says osteoarthritis but i think it's ra.
Thank you for this valuable information. I wish some doctors would take the time to explain things about which form of arthritis the patient may have. This helps to get the right type of treatment.
Thanks Doctor, but what is treatment
