Over past year my fingertips on both hands have become overly sensitive to repeatedly touching certain textures like clothes, cardboard, newspaper. This creates a lot of hand pain. Things like plastic, glass, leather, wood are fine. When I raise my heart rate when exercising they feel less sensitive. I was on .5-.25 klonipin for the past three years and went off c/t on 12/6/09. The sensitivity got a lot worse since then. It gets so bad I can't get thru the work day with out band aids on them. MRI of head, c spine and blood work normal. Out of desperation I wrapped athletic bandages around my upper arms quite tightly and that reduced the sensitivity a lot. My doctor is at a loss, I have an emg and neurology appointment scheduled. I have had anxiety disorders in the past, could this be one? If ayone has any ideas I would appreciate your input. Thank you.
