A member asked:
Pain in knuckles could this be ligament related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Typically if you have having pain from the ligaments in your hand it would be due to overstraining and over work. This can happen sometimes in rock climbers. Knuckle pain could also be joint related. If you are over working your hands, try resting and see what happens. If things don't improve then see your primary care or a rheumatologist.
