patients presented with severe pain in their fingers after wearing rings of different metals for along period .the pain increased with movement . no allergy from metals. the joint movement is restricted slightly.
finger diameters change during day due to work, climate conditions and many other factors. Thus it is understandable that this results sometimes in a lymphatic jam or nerve-compression.
Were these rings too tight for the fingers? Was any pathology, as for example rheumatoid arthritis or similar, to the patients? Were they suffering from diabetes or any adrenal condition? Any kidney disease? All these are predisposing conditions that can lead to pain of a finger wearing a ring.
THANK YOU DR.
George Zafiropoulos the patient is free from underlying pathology
Is the pain irradiating to the periphery or is t at the joints? Is the ring tight?
Possibility of neurological pressure may be the case or even pressure on the expansion hood and the ligaments and the effect of pressure at the tendinous bands
