Nerve pain in fingers while folding them

2023-06-23 23:06:23
My mother is 55 year old. She has thyroid and hypertension in her medical history. She is complaining that she is facing pain when she folds her fingers into a fist and particularly when she tries to fold her index finger. She has Lil swelling on the fists. On her last diagnosis 6 months back with general doctor, she was informed that this could be due to stress and was prescribed medication accordingly. My question is which doctor shall I visit this time for a regular checkup and for the first nerve pain. An orthopaedic surgeon?? is her doctor currently for the pain issue or a rheumatologist?? since I have been advised by my relatives

Examination is necessary. There a several differential diagnosis possible. Stress induced finger or hand pain and swelling that too on one hand is less a possibility. Would advice you to meet an orthopaedic surgeon. Is there any early morning stiffness ? Any associated tingling numbness ? Did she hit her hand or fist in the recent past or lifted anything heavy ?

In thyroid patients there are more chances of nerve problems. The way you are describing seems more like a nerve problem. In most cases it can be managed with a few medicines. Is it worse at night.

I would suggest to get physical examination by orthopaedic. It can be because of arthritis also. Only with blood test it can be ruled out
