Keto Vibe

Compression of a nerve.

Keto Vibe You are woken up in the middle of the night by tingling in your fingers, especially on the thumb, index and middle fingers and you must shake your hand as if you were shaking a thermometer to check that you have any strength left: there is most likely it is a carpal tunnel , a condition caused by compression of the median nerve inside the wrist that blocks the sensitivity of the first three fingers.

In arthritis, the hand is swollen, painful especially at night and stiff upon getting up, a sensation that gradually disappears under hot water. Osteoarthritis more seriously causes progressive deformations characteristic of the small joints of the fingers , with pain rather during the day, related to movements and efforts. The examinations confirm the difference, both biologically and thanks to ultrasound, which gives a good picture of the tendons, ligaments and the presence or not of inflammation. of the joint.

Synovial cyst, tendonitis and circulation problems.

The doctor who discovered this syndrome in the 19th century, Maurice Raynaud, gave it its name . It results from an anomaly in the blood circulation, with multiple causes, which must first be found before treatment.
