Question By: Joint pain in fingers and toes can stem from various causes, with arthritis being a common culprit. Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease, results from the wear and tear of joint cartilage over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced flexibility. Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition, causes the immune system to mistakenly attack the joints, leading to inflammation, pain, and potential joint damage.
Gout is another cause of joint pain, particularly in the toes. It results from the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to sudden and intense pain, swelling, and redness.
Inflammatory joint conditions like psoriatic arthritis, associated with the skin condition psoriasis, can affect fingers and toes, causing pain, swelling, and joint damage. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease, can also cause joint pain as the immune system targets various tissues, including joints.
Infectious arthritis, triggered by a bacterial or viral infection, can lead to joint pain in fingers and toes as well. Additionally, conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or peripheral neuropathy may contribute to finger pain. A healthcare professional can help diagnose the specific cause and recommend appropriate treatment based on the underlying condition.
