Dear 4chan users, for couple of days now my mom is suffering in pain, doctors(so far) don't know nothing and just drug her to relief in agony. The thing is, it is xmas time and specialists are closed and till monday we are looking for help in the internet. I attach RTG scans of her hand. Blood examination results exclude inflamations etc, the "doctor" though, focused on the little bone next to the thumb.
I am ready to answer questions if anybody knows the drill and know what to do. Below I leave links to rtg scans.

I believe she has terminal handitis. The only way to save her is to give her a hot semen injection directly from her biological son.

Just amputate it and replace it with a robot hand.

Carpal tunnel syndrome, oh and also is she pregnant?
>>
>>7745210
Which part of the hands?
>>
>>7745178
First of all, 4chan is a horrible place to come for advice. If it hurts, take over-the-counter pain medication until you can see a doctor.

Specify exactly how they "exclude inflamations". There's not a cure to every ailment, not even doctors know everything. If it's rheumatoid arthritis there's not much you can do about it other than treat the symptoms.

And it's spelled "inflammations" you rube.
>>
>Inflamation, etc

Not like this please.

And we need to know where it hurts, how it hurts and what stress causes the hurt feeling.

Besides, the doctor is right since she's calcifying new bone near the metacarpal.

I believe it's Osteoarthritis, specifically carpometacarpal joint arthritis.

Major Degree on Bioengineering speaclizing in Biomedical Engineering student here. Anyways, seek help for a specialized medic and tell him about this.

Very like there is a shifted proximal phalange causing the cartilage to stretch around the nearby interior rotaters. This commonly causes extreme pain but the rtg scan isn't really conclusive in this case, can you describe the pain in greater detail? If this is the problem it's a quick fix by holding the center of the flat on the table and quickly flexing the sides of the hand in opposite directions to realign the bones.

Those xrays aren't indicative of any bone or cartilage damage.

How old is she?

It could just be dequervian tendonitis.

When she makes a fist, extends her fingers or tries to youch her middle finger to her wrist, does she feel burn, sting, or hurt, or feel tired, sore, stiff, numb,tingly, hot, or cold in her hands, wrist, fingers or forearms MORESO than just at rest?
>>
I'm waiting for the results of a biopsy.
>>
Sorry for late answer but I wasn't at home.

1. what triggers the pain: any movement of forearm and fingers, not sure about the arm
2. when did it start, she couldn't specify accurately but about 2 weeks ago, she told me of lifting 25kg's bag but it also can be from nowhere
3. she's not allegeric to anything, but she has some skin problems as well but it is on feet
4. she's 48 years old
5. it hurt's her whole hand, maybe it pressure some nerves
>>

Saw this coming when i clicked on the thread.

>>7745951
1.What is her occupation? She might be suffering from carpel tunnel syndrome if she's a clerk. If she does lifting, her cartilages must be damaged, given her age.

2.What is her BMI? If she's obese and if she consumes alcohol regularly, she might have hight blood uric acid

3. She might just have strained her tendon. In that case you just need to rest and immobilise her hand and give her analgesics

Hey. 6th semester med student here. Wish we had a medicine general to talk about science and practice of medicine and its specialties.

I started talking with someone from /sci/ about it via email but he's not replying anymore. Think there's enough of us to maintain a general?
>>
>>7747862
Let's give it a try. It would be nice.
I'll start a medicine general thread.
>>
>>7745967
I hope your mother gets better, do seek medical help. asap.
