Hello. I don’t usually have any problems, but I feel pain when I move my index finger suddenly from the other day.As I am a freight forwarder by profession, I thought I don’t usually use my hands for a long time to drive.However, when I drive long distances, my fingers hurt especially, and it makes a sound and hurts like now.I hold the steering wheel for a long time all day, but can I strain my hand by squeezing it like this?I’m worried because the pain will continue.
Hello, I’m Dr. Jeong Yu-jin of Nasol Department of Pain Medicine, and I’m careful to check even small pain.As the weather continues to be chilly, I spend more time indoors than outside activities.At times like this, I drink a cup of tea that warms me up. Hot tea relaxes the mind and body.What do you do a lot when you rest?Perhaps, since cell phones have become a daily necessity for us, we mainly hold them. I think I will spend time watching news, watching videos, and chatting with my acquaintances on SNS.Many people are looking for Nasol due to various problems caused by the increase in cell phone usage.I remember the person who came to the hospital the other day.During my normal daily life, when I moved my fingers, I suddenly heard a clicking sound and felt pain, and came to see me in a state of surprise.He said it was strange that his joints hurt even though he only played the role of holding the steering wheel rather than moving his hands and fingers because he usually drives long distances. Have you ever heard of trigger resin syndrome?It is a sailor’s disease that causes inflammation and swelling of the tendon of the finger.So when I bend my fingers and stretch them out, I feel the same resistance as when I pull the trigger of a gun, so I started to use the word “trigger” resin.It is common mainly in the middle finger and ring finger, and this kind of symptom can be seen in the thumb.Hold on. If you’re like this, please watch it more carefully.It is most common for those who have a profession that uses a handle or a device with a handle, or who work as a chef, construction engineer, or hairdresser who starts to hold hands more often.It also appears from housewives, athletes and performers who use their hands a lot.In addition to this, there are cases where people with underlying diseases such as kidney disease, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis occur secondary.Apart from occupational and disease problems, the number of patients with trigger resin syndrome has recently increased.This is because, as I mentioned earlier, the use of smartphones and personal computers that use a lot of hands has increased compared to before.Middle-aged women need more attention.Women in their 40s and 60s have a higher incidence.This is because middle-aged housewives enjoy exercising with equipment such as tennis and golf, and repeat housework using their fingers and joints. Why do these symptoms appear?Unfortunately, the exact and consistent cause has not yet been determined.Genetic, family history, and chromosomal abnormalities are not the causes.However, if you follow the process of pain, you can see that when you apply force to your hand in a tense state, your tendon or the tendon surrounding it is damaged, causing inflammation and pain. Please stretch steadily on a regular basis.If you usually use your hands a lot, I recommend stretching from time to time.1. After using your hand, place the palm of your hand on the desk and slowly pull the painful finger using the other hand.2. It is recommended that you do not force yourself to be greedy, lift it at the right angle, and then stay there for 5 seconds to maintain that condition.3. If you feel pain in your thumb, hold your hand and press it with all your strength.Please do it three or five times a day.If I leave it alone, I wonder if it will it be cured naturally?If you have mild symptoms of trigger resin syndrome, the pain may be relieved if you give your hand enough rest time.However, if you continue to leave them feeling that they will get better, they can cause bigger problems.When abnormal symptoms appear, it is better to come to the hospital for accurate judgment than to diagnose them on your own.Because proper care is the best way not to lead to chronic pain.There are people who are worried that they might have to undergo surgery sometimes, so they postpone their visit to the hospital.However, if symptoms appear, surgical methods are not used immediately.If the pain is mild, the symptoms will gradually improve in parallel with the management of wearing auxiliaries during daily life while treating with physical therapy or injections.However, if the tendon is left unattended for a long time or the symptoms are severe, the middle part of the tendon may become thick and the passage of the tendon may be blocked.In such a case, treatment should be performed by a surgical method to open the passage so that the tendon can pass. That’s why you have to come to the hospital as soon as possible without getting sick.Nasol Department of Pain Medicine has a siegan injection room.With a real-time radiographic device called a sheagan, we will examine the cause of pain in detail and give injection treatment to the appropriate area.In addition, we will provide appropriate treatment for your situation based on a wide range of clinical experiences, from physical therapy to frequency therapy, such as infrared, interference, magnetic field, ultrasound, and external shock waves.I’ll think of a treatment that won’t cause the pain to recur until the time after I leave the hospital after the treatment.Today, we talked about trigger resin syndrome together.Usually, please stretch your hands lightly from time to time to time.Also, don’t hesitate to visit the department of pain medicine when you feel pain and consult with a specialist.The pain makes not only the body but also the mind tired.Please get rid of the pain in your finger joints as soon as possible and restore your peaceful daily life.It was Jeong Yujin who checked out even the smallest pain.Thank you.Seoul National University Medical University Top 5% Anesthesia Pain Specialist Seoul Nasol Anesthesia Pain Medical Center Home Page Contact Phone Naver Talk ConsultationSeoul National University Medical University Top 5% Anesthesia Pain Specialist Seoul Nasol Anesthesia Pain Medical Center Home Page Contact Phone Naver Talk ConsultationSeoul National Anesthesia and Pain Medical Center No. 109 on 2F, 39 Oulimzaribar Shopping Street, 40-gil, Seongdong-gu, SeoulSeoul National Anesthesia and Pain Medical Center No. 109 on 2F, 39 Oulimzaribar Shopping Street, 40-gil, Seongdong-gu, SeoulPrevious Image Next ImagePrevious Image Next ImagePrevious Image Next Image
