hands

[mongmot]

When I read the article about fibro and blood vessels in the hands it made sense to me. I always know when I am going to have a really bad bout of pain because my hands swell up and are more painful . Does anyone else suffer from this?

My hands are always swollen, still and they throb all the time.

Hi mongmot

I am so sorry to read that this happens to you, and I genuinely hope that you can find some resolution and relief to this problem. I read this article over a year ago and I am not really convinced about it as I am sure the medical community would be bragging that they have found the cause of Fibro? It would also go a long way to finding a cure? But this has not been mentioned by the medical community either?

I will however, discuss this issue with my consultant next time I see them, and post whatever their reply is?

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

Hi Ken! I'm glad you pointed out that the article was old....as I was sure I had read it before! (Never too sure though, with the fog elements) I also agree with your statement about finding a cause for fibromyalgia! Hey ho.....we live in hope... much love.... Ninja...xx

Hi

I'm exactly the same, people comment on how swollen my hands are and the same as you, I know I'm going to have a painful day.

I do think there is some sense in that artical but not convinced it is the main cause.

Take care

Yes I always know when I am going to have some kind of a flare as my hands will start to really get stiff and painful. I always have trouble with them but with a flare it seems to be a different type of pain I will sometimes have it in my toes as well.

I do not get swollen hands, but they are painful most of the time, as well as my feet. I wear support gloves quite a lot when I am in my craft room using my computer, and generally keeping them warm by wearing gloves most of the time whilst outside when it is cold helps to soothe them too. I had to have dental treatment under sedation before Xmas and the dentist struggled to get the needle in a vein, and my hand is still really sore - and it is my right one too! With my feet, I wear comfy/supportive shoes/boots - flat of course - and padded socks. No sexy heels!! Ali x

I am not convinced about the veins in the hands. It sounds a bit far fetched, i would be very interested in reading your consultants reply Author. I have had a tendon trigger finger operated on, it has made my hand crippled as it was a botched op, the left hand is doing the same, i will not let anyone touch it's

Yes , I have the same problem with my hands, they swell quite 9 ten during the day. My muscles also twitch far more when I'm going to have a flare.
