Finger joint pain after drinking alcohol is commonly caused by the following reasons: First, the body’s immunity decreases after drinking alcohol, such as low ambient temperature can lead to interphalangeal joint synovitis caused by cold and moisture, increased intra-articular exudation, clinical manifestations of joint swelling, pain accompanied by joint stiffness. Local heat and ultrashort wave therapy can promote the inflammatory response to subside and relieve interphalangeal joint pain symptoms. Second, if you have gouty arthritis, drinking alcohol can induce an acute attack resulting in redness, swelling, heat and pain in the interphalangeal joints with severely restricted joint movement. Early hand X-rays show swelling of the soft tissues around the affected joints, with recurrent symptoms and irregular mass-like dense shadows. Treatment includes the application of anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, such as colchicine and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as diclofenac sodium, as well as adrenocorticosteroids and uric acid-lowering drugs, such as propofol.
