Numbness in hands

[Vonnie10]

Hi I've had things going in lately with a flare up of ra/ osteo I haven't had a official say so if its osteo had a US this week doesn't show much inflammation and bloods are within range. I have a appointment on 28th with QT some of my fingers on my right hands are jamming it's a been a bit messy recently and a long process as most know things take forever. Recent new thing as happened about 3 weeks ago my hands keeping going get numbness/ pins and needles in both hands when holding phone or doing task that involve using hands for a 10 minute job anyone else suffer with numbness it's driving me crazy hoping OT can shed some light when I see her. Hope everyone is OK.

Sometimes things going on in your hands are being caused by things going on in your neck. Next time it happens observe what position your neck is in. I have a weird thing when I am looking down for instance when preparing food, I get pins and needles in a small patch on my back. If I stand up straight again it goes quickly.

I have pins and needles/ numbness in my hands. Mine is due to a slipped disc in my neck, it has calcified and is pressing on the outer layer of the spinal cord. It is being monitored, and they have offered to refer me to Kings, but I don’t feel I’m there yet. There is certain head positions that aggravate it, and I do exercises shown to my by my rheumatology physio. I would certainly mention it to your team.

It could be carpal tunnel syndrome. I have experienced this. The nerves in your wrists run through the carpal tunnel in your wrists to your hands and fingers. If the carpal tunnel is compressed by inflammation in your wrists then your fingers become numb. It can be quite painful. When you had your ultrasound scan did they also do your wrists?
