Default What does it mean when you can't bend your fingers as much?

My thumb, tops of hands and wrists have been hurting. Everything except the thumb have gotten a little better with increased meds. I realized last night that I couldn't bend my thumb as much as the other, maybe 15-20 degree difference. No swelling, muscles/radial nerve in that area hurts, not the joints. This is on my dominant side. Having problems flipping pages, holding things. Thankfully the space bar movement is a different direction than grabbing things!

I've had a couple times I've found myself kind of leaning or falling to that side as well (the increased issues are all on my right). The neuropathy has invaded my insides, where before it was only sensory. My shoulder on that side has been hurting, where I had a past injury a few years ago. My stomach has been upset for months, I'm wondering if it's related and I have some autonomic neuropathy going on.

Is this just the natural progression of this? At this point I am having problems cleaning my house, and I know my husband is upset that I'm lying on the couch a lot. It seems anywhere I've had an injury in the past is hurting. My daughter touches my legs and I yell at her because it hurts I clap and if I hit my ring it's super painful.

I know I'm whining more than anything, but I have to wait a couple more weeks to go in and see the Neuro.
