Recently, my finger joints have been hurting. When I wake up in the morning, from the first word to the last joint, it’s a bit painful now.
Was this last year or early this year when I visited the hospital's pain medicine department to get tested for rheumatoid arthritis?
I did that, and I even had blood tests and X-rays taken, but they said it wasn't that. Since then, it's still been like that.
It was a bit painful in the morning, but it got better, and I think it's called trigger finger or something like that.
It's similar to that and the symptoms, and also I experience tingling or pain, but I'm not sure. I haven't been to the hospital yet.
I haven't been there, but I looked up various doctors and their videos. There are treatments like injections and surgeries as well.
The best thing now is to do less hand movements, stretch, and frequently massage, so that's still the best approach.
I'm not going because I can tolerate it, but should I keep doing this or would it be better to just visit the hospital once?
I'm 고민이네요. How should I proceed?
