Is this situation familiar to you?
If you notice that you lose your keys, you have already broken a coffee cup in the kitchen several times, and similar cases have a chronic appearance, you probably have weakness in your hands. Of course, it is quite possible to deal with clumsiness, however, if things have become a constant habit, this is already a symptom, not an involuntary, awkward movement.
There are 3 known diseases that most often cause weakness in the limbs, let's consider them in detail.
Arthritis
Arthritis is an inflammation of one or more joints and the disease is characterized by such symptoms as: pain, burning/tearing, swelling, redness, limited movement.
In arthritis, the joint loses the important cartilage that is needed for the smooth movement of the limb.
Tendinitis
Tendinitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon. Pathology is characterized by pain, stiffness, increased sensitivity in the joint, swelling. You may complain of numbness or tingling in any finger with tendinitis.
Usually, the cause of tendon inflammation or irritation is a sudden injury. However, in a large percentage of clinical cases, the formation of tendinitis is facilitated by repetitive movements for a long time (due to hobbies or work).
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Due to repeated movements (work, hobby, sports), sometimes stress arises on the hand and fingers.
Repetitive movements may irritate the nerve, tendon, bone, and as a result swelling, loss of muscle strength may occur. All of these symptoms are called repetitive stress injuries, and the most common diagnosis among them is carpal tunnel syndrome.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is characterized by numbness, pain, and tingling in the hand or forearm. To maintain limb function, it is necessary to consult a doctor as soon as symptoms appear; It is important to carry out timely diagnosis and treatment.
