Jongno-gu Gwanghwamun Orthopedic Clinic that treated my finger joints
As I got older, my joints didn't cooperate as I wished. Even a slight wrong movement would cause a cracking, grinding sound and pain. It felt like my knees were creaking, and my wrists were also feeling cold. But the first to break down was my finger joints. Every morning I woke up with severe finger pain, and I couldn't make a fist or hold objects. I thought resting for a few days would help, but it only got worse. So I visited Gwanghwamun Orthopedic Clinic. The doctor took an X-ray and examined me, then insisted I needed a steroid injection. I received that scary injection on the palm side, along with basic physical therapy, laser treatment, and paraffin therapy. A few days after the injection, I felt a dull ache, but once that passed, my condition improved significantly. It was a joint disorder caused by overuse. While frequent steroid use isn't recommended, if the pain is severe and moving your hand is difficult, an urgent injection can be necessary. Thanks to the treatment, I am now able to use my fingers without pain. I was advised not to overuse my hands and to use tools more often. I recommend this hospital that helped my joints recover.
