Occasionally during the day I can feel my hands getting very sore, and I know whats about to happen! I will have trouble showering, and sometimes cannot hold a toothbrush with one or the other hand (very rarely both one is usually worse then the other). As soon as I lay down to go to sleep the pain becomes excruciating! It feels like when your hands get too cold and put them in hot water. If I get up and walk around it subsides somewhat and I try to get to sleep before it comes back, within 15 minutes I could almost scream the pain gets so bad. Last time this happened by 4am I went and sat in a chair with hands hanging down although still painful I at least got 2 hours sleep. This was while taking 2 Advil PM some pain killers I had, and aspirin nothing seams to help. After these episodes at least 2 or 3 fingers piny 2nd and middle are numb for a few days. On one severe episode on both hands these fingers were numb for weeks with middle finger numb for 2-3 months. A few doctors said it was CT so 6 months ago I had surgery on the most problematic hand but no difference
I do not know if its related
Last year I woke up and felt I sprained my foot, the next day it felt like it was broken (on crutches for 2 days) then disappeared, had all the symptom of gout, extreme pain even w/light sheet on toes. I was tested but all came out negative.
Please any help would be appreciated it gets hard to function when these attacks occur! It went away for 6 months but just came back 2 nights ago. I still cannot make a fist (close my hand)
