I think I've read that carpal tunnel is actually common in fibro. I used to get the hands and toes things you mention also. Now I think it's pain from arthritis but they still do get stuck, although they don't look swollen, just getting bumpy arthritis looking. I wonder if they get stuck because the muscles tighten so the tendons could be affected. I try to do finger exercises like the pianists do when it gets bad. Moist heat can help sometimes.

Hi Suzanne! Mine does it all of the time!

I definitely get the sore hands and burning but my thumbs are the worst. I have terrible arm pain and I agree on the pockets for support! I think my family thinks I'm nuts when I have to put my hands in pockets to support my arms so they aren't just hanging. I find they throb much more when my arms are just dangling!

I have this experience daily and it’s Raynaud’s disease I have x

sorry to hear you will need more surgery but glad it has helped and hopefully will again. I googles which fingers it effects and i was wrong, so maybe is carpal tunnel i have too. I was jusy so frsutrated with my GP that day dismissing all my other symptoms and talking about carpal tunnel that i actually dismissed carpal tunnel. Is it GP or Rheumy who's the best to talk to about it? I 'm on the rheumy waiting list.
