Pain in your hands?

Does anyone else experience excruciating pain in your hands, swelling in the joints, to the point that you cannot use your hands very well?

  1. me too! the past year i noticed that while sleeping my hands would tingle and burn then go numb all night. I also deal with flare ups in just my hands and especially my thumbs. sometimes i cannot grasp things and drop them. the whole thumb just goes into a Charlie horse and it won't function for a few seconds

    1. ,
      Thanks for chiming in.
      I do hope these posts/conversations will help provide a bit of ease and comfort knowing you are not alone.

  2. I do have painful hands - especially after doing things with them OR just randomly. During flares sometimes my hands feel full or swollen or just painful and achy. I hate it. You’re not alone! Heat tends to help a bit.

    1. Hi Rhonda, how are you feeling today? Yes recently my hands and wrist have become so inflammed and swollen I can barely do anything and when I do the pain increases so bad. Has anything helped you? Nadine (Community Member)

      1. Hi @rhonda-johnston,

        How are your hand feeling today? Nothing is the worst than being in pain. Hope today is a better day.
