Keep on working with your drs, sometimes it takes time, persistence and luck. Things don't always show up definitively on testing, imaging or blood work, it takes many follow ups and a Dr that really wants to help....
If they stop being helpful ask for a referral or seek second opinions on your own..

Make a concise list of all your symptoms can be helpful..
Start with the main issues and work down to less bothersome.. Give a copy to each Dr so they can have it available in your records..

It may be a combination and not 1 condition alone..
Explore some of our forum topic sticky threads that you might think related..

Thank you everyone for all of the replies. I guess arthritis is possible, but at the age of 28 it seems a bit unlikely? I shall also look into the grape seed extract.

My neurologist said the ANA blood test was positive, but that it's likely to be a false positive. All other blood tests looked fine. Based on my medical history they suspect idiopathic neuropathy. When I was younger I had bad stinging/electric type pains in my hands that eventually went away in time. I believe they're basing it off the notes from the primary care provider in the past. I'm wondering if maybe my body got exposed to something and caused this to flare up again. I was pretty much symptom free for years.

I guess at this point if it is neuropathy, does that necessarily mean damaged nerves or just irritated nerves? The emg/ncv I'm having done on my hands and feet will be able to rule out damage correct? My symptoms just seem atypical. Not really any pain (maybe a little in the joints in my hands), just stiff, partially numb, uncoordinated hands.. that always gets worse with caffeine oddly enough.

At 28 not unlikely. I had my first arthritis issue in lower back at 18. And it advances with years of wear and tear, so we must do all we can to do "light" exercise, I did a lot damage dancing for years but had a good time, now I pay but no regrets when I think of it all.

I've done a lot of bodywork, D.O., Chiro and bodyworkers of many types.

Pat--I have the same fingers condition that you described in February, and my condition is getting worse. Have you found the cause or relief?
