What should I do about joint pain in hands and feet?

If there is pain in the joints of the hands or feet, a comprehensive physical examination should first be conducted to determine the exact cause and enable targeted treatment. The pain is generally caused by conditions such as arthritis, herniated discs, rheumatoid arthritis, or other joint disorders. Symptoms can be relieved through medication, rest, heat application, and similar methods. For chronic conditions, physical therapy is recommended to help accelerate recovery, including oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), nutritional support, tai chi, ballet, and other exercises. In cases of severe symptoms, surgical intervention may be considered to restore a healthy physique. Additionally, it's important to avoid muscle strains and overexertion, enhance the activity of muscles surrounding the joints, improve diet, and reduce body weight to prevent additional strain on the joints.
