If you only have problems in the hands? This could be
carpal tunnel? When I had my beginning PN 30 + yrs ago,
I had hands and feet. A physiatrist MD I had to go to for evaluation had me wear the wrist splints for carpal tunnel,
at night. This takes the pressure off the nerves going into the
hand at the wrist, and was really helpful.

If you tap your wrist with a hard thing like a wooden spoon...
at the base by the palm, and get ZINGs, this suggests entrapment there (called Tinel's sign). Soaking your hands and wrists in lukewarm water with epsom salts may also help. This would point to low magnesium and poor circulation in the hands due to the entrapped nerves there. 2 to 3 ounces of epsom salts in a pan of water is enough...soak at least 30 minutes.

My carpal tunnel was extreme when I was pregnant. Just about unbearable, but it resolved about 90% after delivery.
