What are the symptoms of a hand ligament strain?

The most obvious manifestations of hand ligament strain are swelling and pain, and even limited movement, requiring corresponding treatment measures. Ligaments stabilize joints and are usually located around them. If stimulated by external forces, hand ligaments may be strained, causing subcutaneous bleeding and swelling, accompanied by obvious pain, especially when exerting force or pressing. It is recommended to use ice packs for cold compresses in the initial stage of the strain to reduce subcutaneous bleeding, relieve swelling and pain, and switch to hot compresses after 24 hours to accelerate blood circulation, which is conducive to better subsidence of swelling. If the strain is more severe and muscle fibers are ruptured, there will be massive bleeding, and subcutaneous congestion or purple color may be observed at this time. Local fixation treatment with plaster or braces and elastic bandages should be used to promote the recovery of muscle fibers. Severe hand ligament injuries can also lead to joint movement disorders, mainly due to surrounding muscle spasms or increased joint capsule tension, making many patients dare not move their wrist or finger joints. At this point, Ibuprofen Sustained Release Capsules and Celecoxib Capsules should be used under the guidance of a doctor to exert anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. If accompanied by joint instability, surgical reconstruction of the ligament is required. Hand ligament strains can be caused by various reasons in daily life. If you feel obvious pain, even accompanied by limited movement function, you must promptly be hospitalized for diagnosis and treatment.
