Members connected over the frustrating and sometimes frightening experience of sudden hand weakness, pain, and loss of control that causes them to drop objects or struggle with everyday tasks like writing, opening jars, or changing gears. Several members described specific symptoms including swollen and painful hands, fingers that lock or trigger, numbness and tingling sensations, tremors, and grip strength so diminished that holding a pen or tying shoes becomes nearly impossible. A recurring theme was the emotional toll of losing physical abilities once taken for granted, met with deep empathy from others who understand the fear, frustration, and need for adaptive strategies like hand warmers, massage balls, and leaning on technology when handwriting fails.

You are not alone in that Kobus. I drop things all the time and I even get fearful when I have to grip things fearing that I may break them. Typing is no problem for me but writing is harder now with my hands. They tire out and get very cramped. I am glad we have computers. I used to be so strong and those days are over. Praying for you to have better days and letting you know that many of us understand what you are going through and that we care.

Take care,
Laura

I have what I call tremors. My hands can go partially or completely knumb. My hands especially my right gets these tremors. I can be holding something and I start to shake..Seems like rapid movement, not shaking although I do that as well. It's frustrating because I will drop things. Not be able to pick something up because I can't feel it.

I get the nerve pain in my hands you know the tingling and then I have to stop whatever I am doing for a moment or so. I haven't dropped anything yet but my hands get weak sometimes. It's extremely difficult at times. My writing has changed. The locking fo the fingers I get I think they call it trigger finger.
