My sxs - primarily pain & burning began in my feet. It was about a year into it before my hands & arms were affected. The pain & burning in my hands has never reached the level in my feet.

Actually, my hands have calmed down some over the past few years. I generally have very little problem when my hands are not being used . . . altho at nite they get very numb until I am up in the AM . . . but any activity brings on discomfort in my hands and at times up to the elbows.
