Finger Joint
 Finger Joint
My pinky finger has been locking up for the past 6 months and It constantly hurts in the middle joint?

It first locked up in june.. I’m only 14 and… My right pinky finger keeps locking up and it always hurts. It pops every time i move the middle joint and it particularly hurts whenever the weather changes.. any help?

It could be the onset of juvenile arthritis. If you notice other joints beginning to lock up and give you pain you need to start writing down your symptoms by date, joints affected, and severity. Then tell your mom you need to go see your doctor.

In the meantime, try washing dishes in hot water every night. (Your mom will be amazed.) The warmth will help ease the pain. When you mom asks, tell her. Also, ask her to get a bottle of Tylenol arthritis strength for the times washing dishes doesn’t help.

Joint Pain: Could It Be Arthritis?

People of all ages experience those little twinges in the joints – but could they be arthritis? This article takes a brief look at the symptoms and effects of this common condition.

Definition of Arthritis.

Not all aches and pains in the joints are caused by arthritis and the definition of the condition is fairly broad. It’s typically described as ‘a disease that causes pain and loss of movement of the joints’. The word arthritis literally means joint inflammation (arth=joint, ritis=inflammation), and refers to more than 100 different diseases, not all of which involve joint pain.

Description of Arthritis.

Arthritis affects the movements you rely on for everyday activities – walking, kneeling, sitting down and so on. Arthritis is usually chronic, meaning that it can last on and off for a lifetime. Arthritis can affect many different areas of the body, and some forms of arthritis are associated with diseases of other tissues and organs in the body. People of all ages, including children and young adults, can develop arthritis.

Inflammation, one of the main symptoms of arthritis, is a reaction of the body that causes swelling, redness, pain, and loss of motion in an affected area and it is the major physical problem in the most serious forms of arthritis. Normally, inflammation is the way the body responds to an injury or to the presence of disease agents, such as viruses or bacteria. During this reaction, the body’s immune system concentrates on the injured area, wiping out the cause of the problem, cleaning up damaged cells and repairing tissues that have been hurt. Once the immune system has done its job, the inflammation normally subsides and the area affected returns to a healthy state. In many forms of arthritis the inflammation does recede as it should, instead becoming part of the problem and damaging healthy tissues of the body. This may result in more inflammation and more damage – a continuing cycle that can change the bones and other tissues of the joints, sometimes affecting their shape and making movement hard and painful. Diseases in which the immune system malfunctions and attacks healthy parts of the body are called autoimmune diseases.

Arthritis pain and inflammation of joints has many forms. Two of the most common are Rheumatoid arthritis and Osteoarthritis.

Rheumatiod arthritis can be one of the most disabling types of arthritis, with three times as many women as men affected, usually at a fairly young age (between 25 and 50). The disease may come on slowly or appear suddenly and typically affects the small finger joints, wrists, knees and toes. Along with swelling and pain of joints, some of the early symptoms of the disease may include fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss and fever. Stiffness in the joints and surrounding muscles that lasts for several hours after getting up in the morning is a regular symptom. Many people with rheumatoid arthritis feel that it is influenced by the weather, stress, temperature and exercise. A few have periods when the disease seems to have gone away. Unfortunately, in most cases, the symptoms eventually return.

The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown. It is thought in some scientific fields that it may result from an infection, but there is no evidence that it is contagious. Whatever the cause, the joint lining becomes very inflamed and thickened, slowly destroying cartilage and bone and the treatment goal is to halt the inflammation and prevent the destruction of joints. Some recent studies indicate that omega-3 fatty acids (found in certain fish and plant seed oils) may reduce the inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis causes the breakdown of joint tissue, leading to joint pain and stiffness. It commonly occurs in the hips, knees, feet and spine. It also may affect some finger joints, the joint at the base of the thumb and the joint at the base of the big toe. It’s one of the oldest and most common diseases in humans and probably affects almost every person over age 60 to some degree, even though by no means all people have it badly enough to notice any symptoms. Although there is no cure for osteoarthritis, proper treatment can help relieve the symptoms and prevent or correct serious joint problems. Therapy for any form of arthritis includes physical and occupational therapy to maintain mobility and range of motion in the affected joints. The proper kind and amount of this therapy will vary depending upon the underlying cause and upon individual factors that your doctor can discuss with you if appropriate.

If you suspect that you may be suffering from the onset of any form of arthritis, it is advisable to seek medical help immediately as this will, if not cure the condition, at least help with long-term relief and continued mobility.

Soul Finger, released on Limelight in 1965 marks Lee Morgan’s and Freddie Hubbard’s final studio appearances as members of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers. Morgan had been an on-again-off-again member since the 1950s, but his tenure with Blakey through the early 1960s remained fairly constant. The set also includes a young John Hicks on piano, bassist Victor Sproles, and veteran saxophonist Lucky Thompson. While this set may lack the sheer high-energy crackle of some of the Jazz Messengers Blue Note dates, there is quite a bit to enjoy here. The title tracks kicks the joint off in bluesy style with the three-horn front line in a slightly dissonant intro before moving in a fingerpopping groover with some killer wood by Sproles used as fills between lines. The spunky Latin groove of “Buh’s Bossa” offers Blakey’s consummate chops accenting the knotty, sometimes snaky melody line with some excellent comp work by Hicks. Thompson’s underrated soprano work makes a beautiful appearance on “Spot Session,” a sultry little groover. The real highlight of the set is “Freedom Monday,” that offers taut hard bop lyric lines, extended harmonies in the front line — especially between Hubbard and Morgan — and a smoking Afro-Cuban rhythmic line highlighted by Blakey and Hicks. The program here showcases the sounds of a band in transition to be sure, but also the sound of a group with nothing to lose; in other words, plenty of chances get taken that might not otherwise fly. Reissued on CD by Verve in 2009 as part of its Originals series, this date is well worth seeking out for fans of Blakey’s long running, ever evolving unit. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music GuidePerformers: Art Blakey – Drums; John Hicks – Piano; Freddie Hubbard – Trumpet; Lee Morgan – Trumpet; Victor Sproles – Bass; Lucky Thompson – Sax (Soprano), Sax (Tenor)
