What Are the Most Common Causes of Finger and Hand Pain?

Under normal circumstances, excessive abduction of the upper limbs does not show symptoms although the vascular nerve bundles are compressed. The disease is more common in young people with muscular, chunky, and thick necks, and more often than at work. Hands and fingers are full, and forearms and fingers are numb and tingly. Symptoms occur when the coracoid process fracture heals or the pectoralis minor muscle thickens. This is because the neurovascular bundle is tightened while being compressed by the pectoralis minor muscles. The compression site is where the subclavian artery transitions to the axillary artery.

Fullness of hands and fingers

Fullness of hands and fingers is one of the symptoms of coracoid pectoralis minor syndrome, and the forearms and fingers are numb and tingling. In normal people, the compression of neurovascular bundles occurs when the upper limbs are excessively abducted. This is because the neurovascular bundles are tightened while being compressed by the pectoralis minor. The compression site is where the subclavian artery transitions to the axillary artery

I. Symptoms:

The disease is more common in young people with muscular, chunky, and thick necks, and more often than at work. Hands and fingers are full, and forearms and fingers are numb and tingly. Diagnosis can generally be made based on clinical manifestations. X-ray examinations are often used as auxiliary examination methods. X-ray examinations can find the phenomenon of compression of nerves such as the pectoralis major muscles that are larger than normal.

Signs:

The most obvious sign is tenderness in the pectoralis minor muscle under the coracoid process, where the symptoms of numbness, numbness, and tingling in the forearm, hands, fingers, etc. can be repeated after compression. Excessive abduction of the affected limb can block the pulsation of the radial artery.

Differential diagnosis with other symptoms:

1. Finger gout Finger gout is one of the common reasons for the elderly to feel limb pain. In severe cases, the limb may be seriously deformed. Many elderly people suffer from gout without realizing it, and mistakenly think it's finger discomfort.

2. Fingertip pain or tenderness Introduction: Fingertip pain or tenderness is a clinical manifestation of peripheral neuropathy syndrome or enteric dermatitis.

3. Finger numbness The sensory nerves of the fingers are distributed to the hands and fingers by the nerve roots separated from the spinal cord of the neck. When nerves in some parts are damaged, inflammation, tumors, compression, etc. cause paresthesia, it will appear. Finger pain.
