[|Human|] My husband has constant pain in his hands as well as finger joint pain. We are trying to figure out what could be causing it. It happens multiple times per week. Tests have shown no arthritis upon blood work. No change after stopping pravastatin for two weeks.
[|AI|]  Hello, Is the pain he feels radiating, tingling, numbing? Is your husband diabetic or have any signs of high blood pressure? What is his job profile? Is he having job-related to more usage of wrist and finger? If the RA factor has turned negative in the reports that it is a big relief that one of the differential diagnosis has turned out negative. What is my provisional impression to the history is there can be two possible factors which need a thorough examination. One either this could be a repetitive stress injury or two it could be nerve entrapment.  But as I said this is just my provisional impression and without having a thorough examination of the job profile and more details about the history I cannot conclude it which can make you panic. What I would suggest it please check these two things online or consult a doctor and see if either of one fits into the category if not then we have to re-examine the history and restart the process of diagnosis. On time being with related to treatment part, I would say try dipping hand in hot water and do wrist and finger movements. You can even use a sponge ball inside the hot water and perform squeezing activity. This should help to a good extent to control the pain symptoms until we come to a precise diagnosis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Jay In Chat Doctor.
