Why do I have hand stiffness and pain at night?

Patient's Query

Having done total thyroidectomy in May 2025 and presently on thyroxine 150 with stable thyroid levels now. Felt hand swelling and shooting pain a month ago and was put on antibiotics for a month. Although got some relief but still feel stiffness and pain in my right hand at night. Done MRI and blood tests. MRI SHOWED JOINT EFFUSION and no injury. Blood test showed raised CRP and ESR levels which have been reduced close to normal now. RF test came negative twice

Answered by Dr. Pramod Bhor

It's good that your MRI showed joint effusion and ruled out any injury. The raised CRP and ESR levels could indicate inflammation in your body, which seems to be improving since they're closer to normal now. Negative RF tests are a good sign for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. To address the stiffness and pain in your right hand, I recommend gentle stretching exercises, applying ice or heat, and discussing possible physical therapy with your orthopedist. Keep monitoring your symptoms, and don't hesitate to follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance.

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia by my doctor as no other condition fits the symptoms. However I don’t believe it is correct as my pain areas are constant and not sore to touch. When I touch the pain area the pain is relieved. I have pain around my forehead, neck, traps on both sides. Then on the right side my lat, glute, hamstring and calf. I am fatigued all the time, muscles are either tensed or not activating. I’ve had this same pain every waking hour for 6 years. Does anyone know what this condition actually is?

According to the symptoms that you have mentioned, the most likely diagnosis to your muscle pain and fatigue is Myofascial Pain Syndrome. Which produces muscle pain and tenderness, similar to fibromyalgia, is among the symptoms of this condition. Muscles' trigger point gets developed, causing pain in different areas due to the compression against the nerves. The muscle would then become loosened up or weaker. The key features of this disorder include physical therapy sessions, injections of trigger point pressure, and a certain kind of drug guidance to manage stress.

Hi my Name is Neo am 22 years I have a problem Saturday night I got a knocked on a car door Sunday I experienced pains on my penis now it’s swollen nd it changed where am it’s bruised the skin is getting shinny.

Male | Neo

It seems like you might have hurt your penis while you got hit by the car door. Pain, swelling, and bruising are not unusual in this case. The glossy skin could be a sign of recovery. Make sure you get some rest, wear loose-fitting clothes, and use ice packs to bring down any swelling. If these symptoms get worse or do not improve it would be best to see a doctor as soon as possible.
