Have you seen your GP? This may be to do with your RA or could be unrelated. You need a consultation with a consultant to diagnose the problem. Have you got analgesia that helps? Dont just let it go on and suffer. Good luck,

It's possible it could be nerve pain, associated with Ataxia, we

get all sorts of weird and wonderful sensations don't we :)

Go to your GP, don't just put up with it until you see the

Neurologist :-) xBeryl

i have pain in my hands sometimes too. I think it's to do with the nerves. The physio therapist massages them to decontract them, but when it happens they just are painful again.
