Question 1

r arm/shoulder/neck pain 7yrs. hand is cold, fingers swollen. surgeries include : wrist tendon release/bone spur, wrist for torn ligaments & radial nerve release. zero pain relief. where to go now?

Accepted Answer

Cervical pathology: Have you ever injured your neck? Or is it possible you may have herniated disks in the cervical spine? Possibly one place to look.

Question 2

what would cause pain in my fingers after wrist surgery?

Accepted Answer

Variable: Swelling, compression on nerves, dressing tightness, referred pain.

Question 3

hello!  i've just received wrist surgery on my left wrist about 7 weeks ago. two of my finger nails have stopped growing for the last 3 weeks. ?

Accepted Answer

Nails stopped growin: Please show to your Drs and discuss with them as they know you best.

Question 4

my wrist and middle finger are very sore and sensitive after bowling a few games the other day, my fingers swollen and slightly discolored?

Accepted Answer

Poor equipment fit: This obviously could be something else but the most likely reason is poor fitting equipment. Have you had the holes in your bowling ball professionally assessed? Try that.
Sore wrist is common if you are trying to put spin on the ball and if the ball is too heavy. 
Try wrist guards and a lighter ball.

Question 5

hi. my helper went to the doc today. swollen left hand. mainly wrist but entire hand and fingers swollen. doc gave her gout meds and ibuomol. apparently now pain worse.. even under her arm?

Accepted Answer

How do you know: how do you know it is gout? Was the Uric Acid level checked in the blood? where xrays taken?

Question 6

shooting pains down my arm. numb tingling and swelling in my lower arms, wrists, hands and fingers, swollen legs, lower back pain and mottled skin?

Accepted Answer

Pain: Based on the duration of the problem, it could be musculo skeletal, underlying arthritis or tendinitis might be causing the pain. It would be helpful if I know of your other associated medical problems or medications currently taking.

Question 7

why is my left hand and fingers swollen?

Accepted Answer

Not Sure: Hard to say what is going on from the limited information you provided.  If just one hand is swollen and stiff, this could be due to over use, arthritis, or inflammation, among other causes.  Other less common casues can be nerve entrapments or circulation problems.  Seems like you should call your doctor for advice.

Question 8

my dadchef fingers swollen both hands right hand numb somepart bust open  get painful at times, it feel hard, i don't know if its cookin? use hand a lot

Accepted Answer

See details: This situation needs to be evaluated by a doctor. Pain and swelling in the hands is never normal and can have several causes, some of them potentially serious.

Question 9

head of 2 fingers swollen, pain, small blue dot inside.now growing spots on side of hand. pain in joints. what can it be?

Accepted Answer

See details: It is impossible to be specific without being able to examine your hands in person. See your own doctor or a rheumatologist.

Question 10

i got surgery on thursday to put screws into my 3rd and 4th metacarpals after i broke them. my hand is still very swollen and my fingers are looked bruised and have yellowness to them. is this normal? thanks ~cody

Accepted Answer

No: No, definitely not normal, I would make sure your surgeon is aware.  Among many possibilities, it might represent an issue with the IV if you had one on that side; or could it possibly be that in the same injury in which you injured your foot you also injured your hand?  I would be seen and evaluated for it.
