Sciatica In The Wrists And Feet Making It Difficult To Walk?
rnI’m tiredrnI wake up almost every morning my joints hurt, especially my wrists and ankles. But as the day goes on, the pain gets less and less. But in the morning it hurts so much that it’s hard to walk. I am 22 years old now. And these symptoms have been almost 1 month. But not every day. 3 weeks ago I felt it. Then the pain stopped on its own for 3 weeks and now it’s back again. I did not take any medicine for fear of being wrong. What should I do huh?

Hi Ririn,
Thank you for asking HealthReplies.com.
The wrist and foot are composed of joints of various components, ranging from bones, joints, tendons, muscles, synovial fluid, and other supporting tissues. Pain in this area can occur due to disturbances in one of the components above, or it can also be due to disorders in other organ systems that cause pain referred to the wrist area.
Some conditions that can trigger pain in the wrists and feet are:
Rheumatoid arthritis (arthritis due to rheumatism) Gouty arthritis (arthritis due to excess uric acid deposition) Influenza Dengue fever (dengue fever) Chikungunya Leptospirosis Systemic lupus erythematosus Psoriatic arthritis Vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels) Side effects of drugs, such as corticosteroids, izoniazid, and so on At this time, if the pain is very bothersome, you can first take an anti-pain medication, such as paracetamol to reduce your complaints. However, if the pain does not improve, you are advised to consult your doctor immediately. Through a physical examination and also supporting, such as laboratory, X-ray, or CT scan, doctors can generally determine the best treatment according to the condition that underlies your complaint.
Also try the following tips so that the pain in your wrists and feet doesn't get worse:
Adequate rest Maintain ideal body weight Perform daily movements with an ergonomic posture Reduce stress Keep your immune system healthy by eating a healthy and balanced diet, exercising regularly, and don't smoke Compress sore wrists using warm water Hope this helps...
