Pain in the middle joint of the ring finger

The middle joints of the ring finger are less frequently affected by pain than other joints of the finger. Due to their exposed position, they too can often be affected by injuries from falls or after blows with the fist. In the course of life, signs of wear and tear of the cartilage can also develop here, which is known as Bouchard arthrosis. In addition to the basic joints of the ring finger, the middle joints can also be affected by the inflammation caused by rheumatoid arthritis.

Pain in the end joint of the ring finger

The ring finger end joints are the smallest joints of the finger. They are exposed to less stress and are also rarely affected by rheumatic inflammation. Nevertheless, arthrosis often develops in the small ring finger end joints with age. For seemingly inexplicable reasons, the so-called “Heberden arthrosis” develops especially in this joint row.
