About the symptom

This can be either part of or the whole hand or fingers and can be one sided or affect both the left and right hand or fingers. The pain may be pressing, sharp, burning or dull in nature.

When to see a doctor

Seek professional care if you experience any of the following symptoms

  • Recent weight loss

  • Peripheral cyanosis

  • Swelling of the affected area

  • Numbness / sensory disorder

Possible causes

  • osteoporosis

    Osteoporosis is a disease that makes your bones weak and brittle, resulting in the bone to fracture easily even with minor trauma or stress (for instance, after a simple fall). It may be caused due to long-term low calcium intake, estrogen deficiencies in women, and an inactive lifestyle.

  • Raynaud's disease

    This disorder of unknown origin causes decreased blood flow to the fingers due to blood vessel spasms. Initially, fingers turn pale when exposed to cold, then become swollen, painful, and red when warmed.

  • Chronic pain

    Pain that is ongoing and typically lasts longer than six months. This kind of pain can persist even after the injury or illness causing it has healed or disappeared. It interferes with daily life and can lead to depression and anxiety.

  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
  • Hyperuricemia

  • Ganglion cyst
  • Tenosynovitis
  • Paronychia
  • Bruise

Related serious diseases

  • Cerebral infarction

    Cerebral infarction refers to damage to brain tissue resulting from a stroke. It occurs due to decreased blood supply and oxygen delivery to the brain, causing brain cell death and brain damage. It is typically caused by a blood clot or fatty/cholesterol plaques blocking a blood vessel to the brain, but can also occur if a blood vessel ruptures and bleeds into the brain.
