[|Human|] I had an open mri of my hand. MRI and xray normal. I clearly have pain and swelling between the index and middle metacarpals near the fingers on both sides of hand. (Between knuckles on both sides of hand). Pain goes down both fingers. Hand feels tight. Hurts most of day especially when gripping or twisting. Any information would be appreciated. I was shocked that mri was normal.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since your MRI and x-ray is normal, no need to worry about major musculoskeletal cause for your hand pain. Sometimes, calcium, vitamin D3 and vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause similar kind of hand pain. So get done blood reports for calcium, vitamin D3 and vitamin B12 level. If there is deficiency then you have to start supplements. Application of warm water pad and ice packs alternatively will also give you symptomatic benefit. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
