Joints is a very
important part of our bodies it helps holding our whole body together, and
there is so many types of joints, for example the joints the holds the skull
bones together, it has zero ability to movement so it would keep our skull held
together, fixed and solid, it is on the contrary of the shoulder joint that
allows the shoulder to move almost to every direction possible, and between
these two types of joints located many others that has that main function in holding
the bones together and give our bodies the ability to move.
The joints that
connects our fingers bones together is called arthrodial
joints these joints allow the fingers to move into two directions sidewise and
up and down, except for the thumb because the joints that holds the thumbs to
the hand is called saddle joints it allows the
fingers to move to the sides, back and forth.
Another very
important part of our bodies is tendons, tendons is a soft tissue that is made
of collagen that does the same function as joints which is connecting but
tendons connects the muscles to the bones although they are soft tissues they
are very strong part of our bodies that is very hard to be replaced in case its
damaged, and tendons go all the way right to the end of our fingers.
Similar part to
tendons is ligaments it is similar in the tissue, it is a soft tissue as well
made of collagen but more like joints it connects a bone to another, it is
stronger than tendons and sometimes function as movement controller, that it
inhabits the joints from certain movements.

finger consists of bones, joints, tendons and ligaments so any of this part
should be functioning at its best so you wouldn’t face problems like tingling,
numbness, enlargement, redness, or pain, but specifically if you suffer from a pain in finger joint then one of
