Our hands and wrists have a lot of small joints that work together when we move them. When a joint in these is affected by arthritis, it makes it hard for us to move the whole hand or wrist. This also means that hand arthritis may occur in different and multiple areas.<\/p>

While hand arthritis is commonly disregarded by many, it is America\u2019s leading condition that leads to disability. Arthritis is mostly common to people who are over the age of 40, however, it can also occur to those in their early twenties. Even those who are healthy have the possibility of suffering from hand arthritis.<\/p>

Below are the symptoms of hand arthritis.<\/strong><\/p>

\u2022 The first symptom is a mild pain in the joint, experienced as a \u201cdull\u201d or \u201cburning\u201d feeling. The pain increases as one continues to move the affected joint. The pain becomes more and more distinguishable after a few days. The pain is mostly noticed in the mornings. The affected area shows stiffness in the mornings, too.<\/p>

\u2022 The area affected may swell when the joint is moved as it used to be. These joints can no longer handle the same pressure and stress. Swellings indicate that they are being overexerted.<\/p>

\u2022 The joint affected will feel warm. This is because of the inflammation inside.<\/p>

\u2022 Joints near the arthritic joint may be affected, they may become move movable than normal, or they may also affected if the hand is not well taken care of.<\/p>

\u2022 Crepitation, or the \u201cgrinding\u201d kind of sensation in the joint affected may be experienced. Damaged cartilages, due to a trauma or disease, will rub against each other.<\/p>

\u2022 There are also instances when the joint feels \u201cloose\u201d.\u00a0 When this is experienced, it means that the arthritis is caused by damage in the ligaments.<\/p>

\u2022 There are also advanced cases where the joints affected appear larger than their normal size. This condition is called hypertrophic, and is an advanced case of hand arthritis.<\/p>

\u2022 Small cysts may start to develop when arthritis begins to affect the fingers\u2019 end joints.<\/p>

When the above mentioned symptoms are noticed, visit a professional and seek help. The first treatments for hand arthritis may vary according to age, or according to the stage of the condition.<\/p>

The following are some of the treatments that can be utilized as soon as any symptoms are noticed.<\/strong><\/p>

\u2022 Exercise your hands and wrists. You can ask a professional about this. Get two boxes of bolts or nuts. Fill one of the boxes and leave the other one empty. Grab a handful of bolts or nuts, whichever you prefer, carefully hold them, and transfer them to the other hand, making sure that you are neither gripping too tightly nor too loose. Try this exercise until the other box is full. This helps in exercising the joints in the hands and wrists.<\/p>
