There are foot doctors, ear, nose and throat doctors, kidney doctors, head doctors and doctors for your insides but is there one that specializes in hands? If so, I think I need one.
About a week ago, my hands started to hurt. Well, they usually hurt to some extent but I mean here is serious hurt as in oh-my-God-make-it-stop hurt. Do you know how your shoulders and neck feel after working on something that requires you to hold your arms up for an extended amount of time? Okay, take that tired achiness and add a burning/throbbing sensation. Now imagine it multiplied to the point of being nearly unbearable and you’ll be getting close to how my hands feel.
I suppose it didn’t help much when over the weekend I picked something up wrong with my right hand and the muscle attached to the middle and ring fingers went snap-twang. That hurt all the way up to my elbow and was so bad it made me instantly nauseous. Still does if I turn my hand the wrong way.
I’ve had my feet x-rayed so I know there’s arthritis in every joint in both of them. I suspect that’s what’s wrong with my hands too. I know. If that’s the case then I’m screwed and need to learn to live with it. I just wish I knew what I did in my past lives to deserve the migraines, bunions, kidney stones and now this. And that’s only the physical stuff. I don’t know what it was but I sure must have pissed off the universal powers that be in a huge way. Perhaps I’ll go get hypnotized and find out. Oh the other hand, maybe it’s better not to know what level of evil I’ve been capable of in my past.

I have no idea what you did but if we ever meet I plan to walk several places behind you just in case I'm collateral damage
LOL to Amarinda's comment.
Hope you get that straightened around soon. Do you do the cherry juice thing for your arthritis?
Aleve. Lots of Aleve.
Or in your case, mega-painkillers, ala 'the GOOD stuff':)
((((HUGS)))))
Carpel tunnel? Yeah, there's a hand doctor. I suspect you'll have to see one. In the meantime... Aleve is good.
