Finger joints hurt during pregnancy

Let’s consider the main causes of pain.

1. Carpal tunnel syndrome. This phenomenon occurs during a period of intense weight gain, from the fourth month to the end of pregnancy. Compression of the nerve occurs between the bones and tendons of the muscles of the wrist. Women feel tingling, burning, numbness.
2. Arthritis, arthrosis. During pregnancy, chronic diseases are exacerbated and the immune system is weakened. If the pain is prolonged and unbearable, you should not take any pain relievers, but immediately consult a doctor.
3. Lack of calcium, as well as vitamins and other nutrients. To correctly determine what substances are missing, you need to take a blood test. To replenish the body with the necessary substances, eat foods containing calcium.
4. The release of the hormone relaxin, which is responsible for softening the joints. This helps the bones of the pelvis to diverge, but has a downside, negatively affecting the joints. With this ailment, no means help, the pains disappear immediately after childbirth.

Avoid self-medication, otherwise you can harm your health and harm your unborn baby.
