If you have pain in the thumb end joint, you should first contact your family doctor and talk to him in detail about the complaints, possible accompanying symptoms and previous illnesses. Frequently, a referral to an orthopedist, the specialist for joint diseases, is then made. In the case of complex diseases such as rheumatism or psoriasis arthritis, treatment can be carried out by a team of competent specialists, for example a family doctor, dermatologist and orthopaedist.
Duration
The duration of the symptoms as well as the prognosis for pain in the thumb end joint is determined by the cause of the disease. Osteoarthritis cannot be cured because the joint cartilage cannot regenerate in adults. Adequate treatment can help relieve the symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease.
Acute attacks of gout can occur individually at different intervals and with varying intensity. In the long term, the prognosis depends on the level of uric acid in the blood, which can be specifically reduced with the right diet and drug therapy. Psoriatic arthritis as the cause of pain in the thumb end joint is a disease that recurs throughout life.
The symptoms can be alleviated with appropriate therapy. In the course of carpal tunnel syndrome, both hands are often affected. Early surgery can lead to a complete cure. Bacterial or rarely viral inflammation, which causes pain in the thumb end joint, usually heals without consequences with an adequate therapy.
