Flexion pain of the middle finger can be caused by tenosynovitis, muscle strain, bone injury of the middle finger, etc. It can usually be relieved by physical therapy, medication and exercise therapy.
1. Tenosynovitis: Frequent movement of the middle finger will increase the friction between the tendon and the tendon sheath, causing aseptic inflammation of the tendon sheath tissue and limitation of flexion and extension, and pain in movement.
In order to improve the bending pain of the middle finger, physical therapy such as magnetic therapy and wax therapy can be carried out to improve the local blood circulation and reduce the inflammatory reaction. You can also take ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory drugs as prescribed by the doctor, and at the same time, carry out appropriate amount of finger pulling and resistance exercise to enhance the muscle strength of the middle finger.
2. Muscle strain: muscle strain around the middle finger will cause bending pain. In order to reduce the pain, ultrasound therapy, medium frequency electrical stimulation therapy can be carried out to improve the local inflammatory response. You can also carry out a certain intensity of finger release, resistance, flexion and extension exercises to improve local blood flow and pain relief, but also take anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs such as diclofenac sodium.
3. Bone injury of middle finger: external pulling or long-term activities will lead to bone degeneration of the middle finger and cause bending pain of the middle finger. To improve the pain, infrared laser therapy can be used to promote bone growth and accelerate the body’s metabolism. Painkillers such as ibuprofen can also be used, and progressive exercises such as finger flexion and extension and grasping can be performed to improve local blood circulation and relieve pain.
If the pain in the middle phalanx is obvious, it is recommended to go to the hospital to find out the cause of the pain and then treat the cause of the pain.
