God does the saving
Wow, SO much more helpful than the NHS (who mention these things between doctors but don’t explain them to the patient). Thank you !
This is extremely helpful Dr. Nabil, a very exact explanation of what I am experiencing in my fingers. Thank you so much for the explanation/description.
The good news is l have learned a great deal in one video. The bad news is l have every aspect described. I do thank you.
Very helpful to see this video, Dr. Ebraheim. Nobody has told me anything. My doctors ignore me when I show them my crocked fingers, but now when swollen and one was infected for a week, maybe they will pay attention.
Thanks
Very helpful. Just developed a mucus cyst on little finger. 70 year old Female. Gratitude!
I am clear now on the fingers' joints pain. Thank you.
I tuned into this video as I know I have inherited Heberden nodes from my mother who had them in middle age. I have been a typist and love gardening and I think this has contributed to to this condition. Thank you, the video gave me an insight into the medical condition.
How do You deal with it or treat it.
@@swagvids2911 I have not as yet gone to my GP where I will need to be referred to a Specialist. It is painful and aches. I shall no doubt see if there is an operation one day? One can massage the fingers when pain is not there.
Do you think that caused the nodes . I too have had them for Years rt, index 3Rd joint Sharp BONEY Node between the 2nd and Third joint - I have Used my Hands Exclusively at My Job for Years -
@@swagvids2911 I have since been to a GP and there is no operation for it. I have pain relief with a gel prescribed.
@@jimmysapien9961 I also think it could he genetic as my mum also had them.
Yes very helpful
.now without a doubt I know what's wrong index finger. Thank you for great explanation and diagrams.
Me
too have you Seen the
specialist ?
I have severe on the finger index of both hands. May I ask what type of writing instruments you have found helpful? The sponge grips and larger pens for Arthritis seem to be more tailored for rheumatoid arthritis instead of Heberden’s nodes osteoarthritis.
healing and reducing pain in the hands and feet-1- sea salt baths, warm, never hot. 2- massage hands and wrists in spirals- 3- scale hands fingers and wrists using the side of a tweezer and a nail clipper, as you start the process of slimming the sides of the nails and fingers.- you will see and feel the results- gets started and be well ! ( my condition was extreme, Now, much better everyday)
Excellent clear concise best vid I have seen yet.. I can stop looking now Thank you Sir
Thank you very much Dr Ebraheim for your excellent video explaining osteoarthritis of the hands. This video answered all my questions on this that I have been unable to get answered elsewhere! Thank you again for your very helpful explanation! I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos as this is the best one I have seen on hand osteoarthritis! Esp. appreciate the info about mucus cysts, I got one of these and had no idea what it was, what caused it, or what to do about it. Now, I do though and am planning to get it removed very soon! I believe mine was caused by pulling the inner sealed ring out of square waxed coated cardboard milk cartons and the pull tab on canned goods. Good to know osteophytes can also be removed. I have been wondering why that has not been presented as an alternative to fusing, etc. Many thanks!
Thank you very much , helped me to understand the disease that is crippling me.
Yes! Very helpful! Really helps to have someone else explain certain things. I get it now!
Very helpful. The PA of my doctor said she had not seen anything like that before! So she didn’t know what to do. This cyst is painful for sure.
Sure wish they’d do away with PA’s. Clinics are trying to replace doctors with them to save money. I want my doctor!
Doctors are leaving….PA’s, Nurse practioners and Techs are hear to stay. I am a retired RN and I was told 20 yrs ago by the Doctors that this would happen. I did not want to believe it!
Thank you for the information, I’m having surgery tomorrow. Knowing more about my situation helps me feel less nervous.
How did it go?
Was it to simply reduce the bump? It’s annoying the hell out of me … it doesn’t hurt it just looks and feeks awful:/ ah…. Aging is not for the weak in spirit
Hope you are well. What kind of surgery?
@@linniemariegonzalez53 you mean nothing good about getting old 🙃🙃🙃
done private or nhs?
i finally know what plagues me on my thumb and index and middle finger. Thank you for this video!
easy and simple lecture about Heberden's node and Bouchard's node thanks sir !
I don't have this,but I do have an enlarged bump on my pip knuckle joint basically since I was little,it makes my knuckle look swollen and the bump is over my joint with an enlarged bone structure that is very hard and callous like doesnt hurt or anything but it makes my pinky look funny and a little deformed and my because of this bump on my pip joint the palm side of my pinky doesn't touch the surface all the because the bump is pulling up my finger more which is enabling my finger to be flat on the surface.
Dammmm
Was very helpful indeed! Thank you very much for creating this video; it is greatly appreciated
Yes but now how do I fix it......
@@jazzySazzy exactly
I heard a treatment plan of excision of cyst at 2:46 into the video.
There are direct connections between how our wheat is harvested plus many react to gluten but mostly due to glyphosate
Yes, it was helpful, DIP is what I believe I have, since watching your video. Thank you very much.
So helpful and I love your voice!
I have had mucous cysts in the past. I had them surgically removed. The surgeon can remove what’s on the inside of the finger that’s causing the cyst to form. There’s no reoccurrence. I’m concerned about people popping these on their own. There’s high risk of infection of the joint of the finger. Also I have had these nodes on joints for years, and lots of pain and deformation. When they become really painful, I sometimes have cortisone injections into the joints. It is helpful for several months. Things that also help me-warm wax baths, 2 Tylenol & 2 ibuprofen taken together, doing the dishes in hot water, wearing gloves when it’s cold outside-of course, all temp solutions-there is no cure. It is also possible to have joints replaced in severe cases.
Have had this twice.Just leave it alone,it burst then resolved.Reoccurs around 2 yrs.
Yes! Very helpful, thank you. I am wondering if there is any reverse, or if anything can be done to prevent further osteoarthritis in the finger or hand joints?
Don't burn any fingers on the oven like I did.
According to my gp...no.
Some say to drink more water, stop eating gluten and tomatoes (lectins)
I was tested for gluten and I wasn't allergic to it. I'm always telling myself to drink more water, although I have increased the amount of dairy that I have because that helps to reduce the amount of oxalates in the body. Crystal oxalates found in food that we consume does increase inflammation and a lot more. There is also a paper on PubMed of some research that says that Oxalates induce breast cancer. A majority of health issues are caused by an overload of oxalates. I highly recommend a book by Sally K Norton called "Toxic Superfoods", and yes potatoes and tomatoes from the nightshade family are high in oxalates. @@bella-bee
This is very helpful information. Thank you. It's always good to have an understanding of what is going on. I had one of the cysts at the base of one nail. My doc lanced it and pushed out the gel. She said it would probably come back. I kept pressure on it as long as I could in the hope that it would not refill. So far, so good, after several years. But the nail is affected and will no longer grow normally.
I have the same problem at the bottom of my nails on several fingers it's also deformed my nails had no idea what was causing this until I seen this video. I've been diagnosed with RA , but believe I have other arthritis conditions.
Thank you prof Ebraheim
I have Heberden's Nodes on my left ring finger next to little finger. I am left-handed and right-handed too. I eat and write with my left hand and do everything else with the right. I have had this node for many years and sometimes it is painful and other times I don't feel it. Sometimes it is hard and other times it is soft. I am 72 and I got this from my mother. When she was alive she had terrible looking fingers with cysts and nodes. My fingers on both hands next to the thumbs curve slightly in towards the middle fingers. I also have a node on my left little finger too. Your video was very helpful.
How was helpful when just said the name of our disease. No idea how to help. We know there is no idea of the cause so no cure. But some xercice, massages, warm bath, compress with castor oil covered with plastic and electric muffins as in spas. Etc
Almost all my family going back generations have both joint swellings. Ours are not painful and i assumed it came from working with your hands throughout the years.
Love your videos and explanations sir!
This video explains what was periodically happening to my finger joints. For a while, I was thinking that I had rheumatoid arthritis. I never went to a doctor to get it checked.
A few months ago I started to develop pain in my fingers Now in Feb 2024 I am riddled with arthritis in both hands Im 70 . I played in a blues rock band for 30 years in Australia I was the guitarist and singer Nothing was too hard and I had great fun playing my favourite songs . Now I cant play a ting I cant make the C shape and the F is out of the question So I bought a finger exerciser and i wear woollen gloves to keep my hands warm . I have to say my Doc was not much help The only good thing she did was to prescribe me Voltorol gel which does help were as ibrofofen does nothing . The pharmacist at Boots the chemist tried to tell me that he creams and the gels are all the same He couldn't be bothered ordering Voltarol .My Doc told me that voltorol was different to the other creams So you sufferers out there talk to your doc about Voltarol
I had 3 of these on baby fingers 3 times turned black surgeon opened and released the pressure. My sister had a very large one it popped and she required plastic surgery
Thanks Doc, very clear and informative video, I have the same problem ostheoathritis.
Extremely helpful. Thank you!
I have osteoarthritis, type 2 diabetic, cervical stenosis and Bells Palsy. I live in chronic pain.😭😔
Thank you for solving my bump question…caused from knitting.😊
Thanks
I have this condition and had a really big lump that kept growing on my finger. I popped it myself and a large jelly like substance came out. It really helped because my finger was getting really deformed. I was told by a consultant there is nothing I can do about this condition.
Same. I have to squeeze mine about once a month. It suddenly appeared red and very angry and I noticed the top of it looked transparent! Like a transparent blister, but on a volcano. A drop of clear sticky, slimy, odourless liquid came out, and it healed up and the swelling of the cyst reduced . A month or so later, it was red, angry and sore again, so I squeezed it, and had a repeat of the previous experience. A month later, last week, the same thing happened. It’s not a big deal, it’s harmless, and is a bit of fun. Knowing it’s a cyst changes things, because until the sac is taken out, it will reoccur. I know it could get infected when I squeeze it, and I wouldn’t like any germs getting in there. Thankyou for this explanation, I’ve researched heaps about it, and couldn’t any reference to the mucous cyst, til this video popped up in my feed today. It’s such a clear, informative video!
Check out Tophi fingers. My dad's Dr told him it's what he had. His got pretty big, but he never did anything about them.
I had one that went away after several months. I'm glad I resisted the temptation to perform home surgery on it.
How did u pop it?
I’m in healthcare and have access to sterile needles. I used one after prepping the finger with povidone iodine. Used a 23g needle and went straight in. Squeezed out the clear jelly like fluid. And cleaned the area again to sterilize. Wrapped slightly tight in Coban with neosporin. Kept on a day or so. Bump never came back and I saved myself a surgical finger surgery at a hospital. (So my doctor said I needed) 🤷♀️
I had what I thought was a boil on my middle finger just beneath the fingernail. I stayed with me for 3 years. My Dr and I would lance it, I clear sticky goo would come out and was drained. But it kept coming back. Finally after 3 years on day it popped, drained and has not come back. I had No explaination for this. It was a muchos cyst!
Omg, I think I have same cyst, just got 10 days ago...thought it was a blister...Wish I knew how to make it pop!
Now that you have identified it, which was clear and helpful, are you going to provide treatment suggestions? Like essential oils?
Thank you, now i know what this nodule on my index finger is 😮
I had this cyst on my finger for years, doctor said there was nothing she could do because it was synovial joint fluid that was leaking causing a blister like bubble on my finger. One day I thought I was coming down with a UTI, took about 6 Uva ursi capsules, and overnite the cyst was gone and hasnt been back. That was about 8 years ago.
Thanks....Will look for Uva ursi capsules in hope it can help me!
Thank you very much for your information. I developed one of these cysts exactly as illustrated- I thought it was a water blister and was wondering where I got it🤷♀️ so I took a scalpel blade to open it up to let the water out- only there was no water- nothing came out except the blood from the cut- it’s healed but that blister looking thing is still on my finger. I’m going to see my Dr and see if she can remove it. You didn’t mention how long these stay- is it here for the rest of my life? If I have surgery will it come back? Is there any medication I can take to get rid of them?
Can you let us know what your Dr says? It will be good to know as I have one of those cysts coming.
Hi. They may go away on their own if you stop the repeated aggravating movement that is causing it.
Repeated microtrauma caused a boney growth on my index finger. The microtrauma came from pulling on the tabs on the top of cat food tins. It never hurt while I was taking the tops off but must have been so repetitive that it stressed the joint. It’s the only finger I have with the extra bone on it. Now I’m using my middle finger to pull the metal tabs but between the joints and not right at the joint as I did with my index finger. Don’t know if my body will reabsorb the growth over time or not, now that it isn’t being stressed. It’s not sore and bends quite well but it’s a bit unsightly.
I now use the end or handle of a measuring spoon to open tabs on cans, half and half cartons, etc. HTH
Yup, same here….and using gardening tools and tiling our floor
I bought a ring pull aid, just hook it under the ring on the lid and pull it backwards no pressure to my very wonky finger.
Great! Had no idea those exist. I'll be on the lookout for one. Thanks.@@Rosie-tv3ki
My nodes, both types, are painful like a pinprick as they area growing but eventually are painless but unsightly.
I have DIPs and PIPs but with no pain. My hands look terrible but they don't hurt at all.
Thank you very much for this video and explanation. I would love to know if there’s any treatment for the Heberdens nodes.
This looks exactly like my right hand and my spine . It’s awful and I’ve just lost the use of my left hand from nerve damage I have oestio plus lupus and ,I have more . Thanks I just want to know this is treated
Go on an AIP anti inflammatory diet it will help.

Start doing HIIT. cardio and squats to strengthen your spine. If your not into fitness or generally not into excirise its gona be hard to start BUT well worth it in long run, you can heal and get stronger no matter how far we are. Im dealing with same issues but started fitness again and getting stronger. it takes time.. goodluck !
Thank you, Doctor. Your video was clear and explains what is happening to my fingers. Do you have a video on relieving the pain.
How can we treat it?
Exactly!!
Yeah everything we need to know.... except what to do about it.
Yes we want to know how we can treat it without using surgery?
Prolo and PRP. We definitively know the reason for it and the one way to treat it. Good luck everyone.

That was VERY helpful, thank you!
I have this on 7 of my fingers. Very painful with fluid but I drained them myself with a needle. Now it's just ugly. No pain anymore
I have these nodes on my fingers and a lot of pain at the extreme base of my thumb. I have found that as the nodes are developing they are very painful but then the pain stops but the lumps stay. I can't get my wedding ring and engagement ring over these nodules because they are like solid bone.
Thank you very much sir, good knowledge and thank you.... Thom in Scotland.
Thank you! This was very helpful.
The one on my finger happened after I burnt the finger on the oven, probably why women get them more than men. The one on the bone at the base of the hand under the thumb happened after a few traumas to the palm of the hand. Has a 7 year old a dog bite to the hand, still have the scars. Then when I was 24 I fell over on a plank of wood looking at a property to purchase, a rusty nail went straight into my hand close to where the bite had happened. Hence before I was 30 that bone had increased in size.
I want to know why my Heberden's nodes become painless after I fast. Most times the pain comes back when I eat regularly.
Just a guess, but probably related to inflammation.
I agree. I have end stages of OA from the L6 down. Replacing body parts now... lol the dominate hand is showing major signs of OA there as well... I keep screaming environmental, but no one is listening.. Remove a hip and the pain moves on to another part of the body...
@@eyesofamessenger sorry 😞😞😞
It is the L5, down... My doctor laughed and said, "No hon, we have an L5, not an L6"

Extremely helpful.
Frankincense Oil helps me with the pain on a temporary basis.
Thank you so much. That was very helpful. For many years, I have had what l now know is a Heberdens' node and a Bouchard's node on the index finger of my non dominant hand. Although l'm lucky in that they're not painful, it has always worried me that it was the onset of arthritis and that using my hands may become difficult and painful. I would love a little more information about their progression. Will the ones l've got get much worse, does having them in one finger mean that l will inevitably develop more in other fingers and, is there anything l can do to slow down their development? Any answers would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
Was hoping for a suggestion to reduce or eliminate the problems.
I have these on my fingers and i find that massage helps.ibdint kjow why it helps. Lately i have had hot stabbing pains in the nodes. Why is this. The video was very good . Tha nknyou
Very clear and helpful ..thank you
Very helpful Sir Thank you
I was recently was treated for this. They extracted the gel like substance with a needle.
How do you feel after the procedure? Hope everything's fine with you. Any further threatment needed?
T.Y. very much for informative video. Now I know what's wrong with my hands
Thank you and yes it was helpful.
What is the treatment of Heberdens nodes ?
NSAIDs if needed for pain relief. As it progresses and the cartilage wears away and disappears, a joint fusion is done.
For Bouchard’s nodes (the PIP joint), the joint can either be fused or replaced.
Disclaimer: I’m a patient (two DIP fusions, PIP replacements pending) not a doctor.
AIP anti inflammatory diet
@@macmedic892 did it help?
@@swagvids2911 Haven’t had it done yet, unfortunately. A: the joint destruction isn’t quite bad enough yet for joint replacement, and B: I can’t afford to take off eight weeks of work.

Thank you for posting the video. It seems that I get mucous cysts on my fingers
I have it in my index finger to make matters worse I jammed it in the door,so now instead of just the outer side I have it across the whole finger,Thankfully no pain m my Aunt had the same condition
Neither one of my parents developed this on their hands so why did I?
I have Heberden nodes on the insides of both my index fingers, had them for about 25yrs and they used to ache/inflame badly. Then during menopause I became sensitive to gluten, once I became gluten free the Heberden nodes stop inflaming/aching & didn’t grow any larger. I’ll add that I was vegetarian for 20yrs and now Vegan for last 20yrs, I’m sure gluten & dairy were huge contributors to any inflammation in my body which is fully absent unless I eat any processed sugars…..
Yes I had a mucous cyst last winter. It came up 3 times. When it got tight I popped it with a needle. Its Autumn now I think when winter arrives it will come back.
Wow I’ve never had That Mine Are
mostly Hard and Small Bone 😞 hurts when I bend it Most of the Time ???
@@jimmysapien9961 Mucous is a liquid. So yours are probably just arthritis bump. Swelling of the joint. They are more likely permanent. I have a couple of them.
