Members overwhelmingly confirmed experiencing numbness, tingling, and severe pain in their fingers and hands, with many describing the pain as unbearable, causing them to drop things or lose grip strength. Several members shared that medications like amitriptyline and pregabalin have not fully stopped the symptoms, though some found relief with daily sublingual B-12 supplements for tingling, and one member recommended considering carpal tunnel surgery if pain becomes severe. A recurring theme was the importance of discussing these symptoms with doctors to rule out other conditions like arthritis, nerve damage, or carpal tunnel syndrome, while recognizing that fibromyalgia often mimics multiple conditions and makes diagnosis challenging.

Yes but its nerve damage down the outside of both hands, they reckon its due to a life of using hand tools and machinery. My tendons in both hands are stretched and likely to snap in the future and all my joints are arthritic. It has got a lot worse and i think its due to the fibro though.

My hands and fingers have been really hurting bad lately. They do go numb on occasion but mainly just very painful. I have seen many people on here say that their hands go numb so I believe it is from fibro. Let your doctor know just so they know about it. I hope it gets better. Hugs

Could be carpal tunnel syndrome too. Ask your doc. I’ve had both hands operated on. I occasionally get tingling now but if it gets very painful I recommend the op.

Fybro mimicks a lot of other things, that’s why it’s so hard to diagnose.
