Do you eat foods containing tomato's?
I found after paying close attention for less than a year to the foods I eat, that when I consume foods containing tomato in any form or amount, that my fingers/hands (occasionally wrist) hurt (and pop) like mad for a few days.
Basically very similar symptoms to what you suffer from.
I also have much more general body pain and feel a bit sluggish and dull after eating tomato foods, even reasonably small amounts.
When I avoid tomato's my hands and body are pain free, so after quite a bit of research it's clear tomato causes an inflammatory reaction in my body, so I avoid them for the most part (sad face).
This may appear to be quackery, but it works for me, so I'm hoping it will lead to an alternate path than what you've been pursuing, and it will prove of some positive value in helping you out.
- mackatsol 5y agoIf you are avoiding tomatoes.. you may want to avoid the rest of the nightshade family. Potatoes, eggplant, capsicum/ peppers. There are a few others I can’t remember at the moment.
- Mister_X 5y agoI've read many papers on inflammation and it's myriad of causes, so I already do avoid those, and family sibling tobacco as well. I do hope this info can help the OP.
- simonblack 5y agoThe pain might be a symptom of mild gout. Gout is when tiny crystals of uric acid precipitate out in the poorly-circulated, so poorly flushed, synovial fluid. What happens if you drink an extra litre of water(or other fluid) when the pain occurs?
