Stiff hands in the morning are a common sign of osteoarthritis (also known as "wear-and-tear arthritis) but can be caused by other conditions as well. These include autoimmune forms of arthritis as well as Dupuytren's contracture, carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, and scleroderma.1 Even certain drugs can cause morning hand stiffness in some people.
Finger pain has many possible causes. The most common are accidental injuries, overuse injuries, and arthritis. However, numerous hand-related and body-wide health conditions can lead to finger pain, including Dupuytren’s contracture, trigger finger, ganglion cysts, infections, autoimmune diseases, and peripheral neuropathy.
Dupuytren's contracture is a condition that causes tight tissue to form in the palm of the hand and fingers. Exactly why this condition occurs is a bit of a mystery, but there is a known genetic component and there have been other factors including lifestyle, activities, and other medical conditions that may also play a part.
Typing, scrolling, gripping—your hands do a lot. But these repetitive motions can increase your risk of carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition that causes pain, stiffness and numbness in your wrists. And if you’ve ever dealt with wrist pain, you know just how debilitating it can be. That’s why it’s so important to learn how to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.
