May Rayuma???
hi Doc, i wanna ask kung ano ang dapat naming gawin dun sa sakit ng kamay ng mister ko, kasi last month nadulas siya, ang naitungkod niyang kamay eh yung kanan, so sumakit na siya, then we went to the doctor, the result naman nung xray wala naman siyang fracture, so binigyan lang siya ng doctor ng gamot, pero ubos na yung gamot, di pa rin natatanggal, pinahilot na rin namin siya, but still masakit pa rin, tuwing malamig, mas lalong nadadagdagan yung pain niya, so pls advice us kung makabubuti kaya kung iha-hot compress ko siya everynight??? or cold water? kindly reply. thanks.

Your husband may have sustained a soft tissue injury (e.g. tendon injury), which would not show up on xrays. It should heal eventually. However, since the injury is in the hand, I suspect that the healing has never been complete and your husband may have reinjured it again when using the hand in doing heavy work. Hot compresses and liniments would help in easing the pain but in the try to let your husband NOT use his hand for too heavy jobs and to rest it as often as he can. If the problem still persists after a while (maybe 1-2 weeks) maybe his hand needs to be reexamined by the doctor.
