How to get rid of pain in the fingers - #25995

Arul Sivasankaran

On my left hand near the wrist a very very small swelling is there. In the morning the middle finger gives pain and am not able to bend the finger. After sometime it reduces. I am able to fold the finger. It is happening everyday. But on some days the pain is very less. I could manage. But on some days pain is severe. Kindly advice some remedy and food restriction. Thanks

hello arul sivasankaran, What you're describing—morning stiffness, pain in the middle finger, small swelling near the wrist—is very commonly seen in age-related Vata imbalance, especially when combined with early signs of joint degeneration (Sandhigata Vata) or early inflammatory arthritis like mild trigger finger or tendon sheath inflammation. Since you're mildly diabetic and over 60, there may also be reduced circulation, dryness of the joints, and mild Ama (toxic residue) build-up in the joints overnight, causing this stiffness and pain in the morning. The swelling near the wrist could be a small ganglion cyst or inflammatory nodule due to repetitive use or mild joint wear. Internal Medicines (for 6–8 weeks): Yograj Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily after meals with warm water (Reduces inflammation and improves joint mobility) Mahayogaraj Guggulu – 1 tablet at night after food (Very helpful for Vata-type joint pain, safe in mild diabetes) Dashmoolarishta – 20 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner (Reduces Vata in joints and supports healing) External Application: Warm massage with Mahanarayana Taila or Bala Taila over wrist and fingers daily before bath Do gentle hand/finger stretches in warm water (can soak in warm water with rock salt for 10 min daily) Diet & Lifestyle Tips: Avoid cold foods, refrigerated items, and curd at night Include garlic, ginger, turmeric, methi seeds (soaked) in meals Prefer warm, freshly cooked meals Take warm water sips through the day Avoid sitting under fans or direct AC on hands Investigations (if not done): Fasting blood sugar & HbA1c Uric acid ESR/CRP RA factor (if pain worsens or spreads) X-ray of the wrist & hand (if swelling increases) This is a manageable condition — the pain can definitely be reduced, stiffness improved, and swelling managed with a combination of warm application, proper circulation, and removing the local inflammation. If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, Regards,dr. Karthika
