What could be some causes for finger joint pain?They have gotten really sore over the last week or so. It could be arthritis, but I am looking to see if there are other causes as well. I m 49 and have been doing kick boxing workouts for the last 3 months. Other than that No changes. Kelle
Hi, thank you to providing the brief history of you. As you mentioned you have pain in the finger joints, is the pain present or more in the morning ? If the pain is more in the morning with stiffness of finger joints than a RA test can be performed to check if RA is positive?Also, as you have been doing kick boxing workout, do you use more of the pinching activities? As punching activities may lead to soft tissue and hard tissue trauma as well. For which you can take an X-ray / CT / MRI, and it will help us understand better. But even to note a point here that you are doing kick boxing so is there any issue with the neck.? What is the nature of the pain you are feeling? Stiffness, blunt, burning, tingling, numbness? What sort? Also while performing kick boxing there is a chance to damage the clerical spine soft tissue as the activity of kick boxing demands a high thrust. Once you rule out all the possible factors than the matter can be really taken into consideration for a closer look to the diagnosis. I hope you will be finding your answer soon. With the grace of God I wish you a speedy recoveryregardsJay In Chat Doctor.
