What causes finger joint pain and inability to bend?

Pain in the finger joints with inability to bend is a common symptom, primarily caused by damage to the joint synovial sac or joint trauma. In addition, degeneration or inflammation of the synovial sac can also lead to pain and restricted movement in the finger joints. To treat this condition, patients may first rest the affected area and apply ice packs or cold compresses to relieve pain, as well as massage the finger joints to reduce pressure. If pain persists, patients should consult a doctor for further evaluation to determine the exact cause. If the condition is due to synovial sac degeneration or inflammation, the doctor may recommend medication, including pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs. Furthermore, patients might also require physical therapy to help restore function and alleviate symptoms.
