Experiencing stiffness in your index finger and joint pain with muscle fatigue in your right hand, even without any findings of rheumatoid arthritis or gout, could be related to repetitive strain injury (RSI), tendonitis, or nerve compression, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. From an Ayurvedic perspective, these symptoms often indicate an imbalance of the Vata dosha, which governs movement and can lead to joint stiffness, pain, and muscle weakness. To address this, a Vata-pacifying diet including warm, nourishing foods and avoiding cold, dry items can help. Herbal remedies like Ashwagandha for strengthening muscles and a topical turmeric-ginger paste for reducing inflammation are recommended. Regular oil massage (Abhyanga) using warm sesame or Mahanarayan oil can alleviate stiffness and improve circulation. Incorporating gentle yoga stretches and wrist exercises, along with Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing), can enhance flexibility and relaxation. Lastly, practicing good ergonomics while writing and reducing repetitive activities can help prevent further strain. If symptoms persist, seeking further evaluation from an orthopedic specialist is advised.

Sounds like a frustrating issue with your right hand. If rheumatoid arthritis and gout have been ruled out, we might want to look at what's going on from an Ayurvedic perspective—you know, considering the doshas and all that.
In Ayurveda, such problems in the hand could be a result of Vata imbalance. Vata governs movement and nerve impulses, and when it's aggravated, it can lead to stiffness and discomfort in joints and muscles. Stress, staying up late, erratic eating habits, and even excessive travel can disturb Vata. Maybe these factors play any part?
Considering the specifics of your symptoms, warming and grounding approaches can help balance Vata. Try doing a gentle sesame oil massage on your hand. Applying warm sesame or even mustard oil on your hand, especially before bed might enhance circulation and ease the stiffness. You may wanna wrap it with a cloth so the warmth stays in.
Pay some attention to your diet too. Foods that pacify Vata are warm, cooked, and slightly oily. So, include warm soups, ghee, and maybe a bit of ginger in your diet. Avoid cold and raw foods—they might not be helping. Keeping hydrated is also vital, and maybe consider herbal teas with ginger or turmeric for their anti-inflammatory properties.
As far as the fatigue goes, nurturing your muscles can help. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen that’s amazing for improving energy and decreasing fatigue. You might want to take it daily, but check in with a local practitioner for exact dosages cause it's not a one-size-fits-all.
Be mindful of not overdoing movements that strain your hand. Gentle yoga or stretching exercises focused on fingers, hands, and arms can improve flexibility and strength. But a light touch, nothing forcing or painful.
However, if things are getting worse or not improving over time, don't hesitate to seek out further medical advice. Sometimes other underlying issues could be at play that require more immediate attention!
