Painful And Numb Hands
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone have numbness in their hands and when the hands aren't numb they are excessively painful?

Oh yes, I have had that problem since the early 90s. Of course I was told it was carpal tunnel, especially because of the type of job that I was doing in the Army. Since then I have had multiple test for carpal tunnel, as well as bone scans, MRIs. Cortisone shots, steroid shots, diagnosis of acute arthritis and tendonitis, and finally fibro. I have found if I do a lot of typing, texting, writing, or any type or repetitive motions, to include brushing my hair or teeth too soon before bed, the more it will keep me up at night. I have tried placing a hot towel on my hands before I go to sleep and it works , sometimes. I hope some of this helps.

Yes I have that problem also. I thought I had carpel tunnel in both for the longest time. I did the test and it turns out that I don't, its just the fibro

Yes, I often look at them like I should be able to see something wrong with them. If they looked crippled as with RA they would look as they feel. My feet feel the same.
