That is, a person has a gene from his or her birth that can lead to an inflammatory process as soon as there are grounds for this - the reasons for the disease.

Osteoarthritis of the fingers is no exception. In this form, all the inflammatory processes of the joints occur on the phalanges of the fingers.

In rare cases, joints of the hands suffer - in this case, the disease is polyarthrosis. The presented disease is dangerous for a person by its irreversible manifestations. So, in advanced cases, the deformity of the joint itself and the bone to which it adjoins is diagnosed.

Such features of the disease are already unrecoverable, and to improve the standard of living, experts suggest an operation.

The patient has a characteristic seal in the joints between the phalanges.

Causes and risk factors of the disease

The disease has the following reasons for the occurrence:

• the elderly patient's age is due to the characteristic depletion and thinning of the articular cartilage;
• in the period of hormonal failure( menopause in women and other diseases), there is a metabolic disorder of the cartilaginous tissue;
• weakened immunity affects the exacerbation of an existing arthrosis, and also provokes its initial occurrence;
• injuries and bruises of the fingers;
• genetic features that caused deformation and other defects in the development of joints;
• excessive physical labor, which was based on the work of the hands;

1. Medical therapy - first of all, a specialist prescribes the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to eliminate inflammation and pain syndrome. After some relief, the patient starts taking chondroprotectors - drugs for restoring the cartilaginous tissue.

Traditional medicine

Treatment of arthrosis of the fingers of the hands with folk remedies is used only to relieve pain, eliminate swelling and inflammation, since they do not stop the process of destruction of cartilage tissue and do not help restore the balance of microelements.

In particular, they use such recipes:

1. Mix honey and salt in equal proportions. Stir the mixture thoroughly and apply it to the aching joints. Cover your hands with polyethylene and put on woolen mittens. Leave the compress on overnight.
2. Compress for the night is recommended to make from crushed burdock leaves. They are pre-washed and passed through a meat grinder.

In addition to compresses for the treatment of arthrosis, you can use infusion and other oral preparations. Squeeze out fresh celery juice and take 2 teaspoons three times a day.

Caution, complications are possible!

Pathology with untimely intervention is fraught with its own serious consequences.

Surgical intervention is already the result of the complications of the onset of the disease, since the operative method is used in case of deformation of the joint and the adjacent bone.

Therefore, when the first manifestations of aches in the fingers, you should contact a specialist for help.

Prevention methods

As a preventive measure, experts recommend eating right - eat more vegetables and fruits, do not abuse salt.

Hand health directly depends on the person's attitude to themselves. In the world of fuss you often do not have time to visit a doctor at the initial stages of the development of a serious illness.

Such a kind of negligence can lead to significant problems, the elimination of which will take a long time.
