I just had to buy a new set of glassware because I drop them all the time.I got tested for carp.tun.syn. but that wasn't it.Pain in hands is a FM symptom and cramping.I get it the worst where your thumb connects to your hand.I do my dishes by hand the warm water helps and stretching my hands helps.I also have bean bags to heat in the microwave and puy infleese mittens for heat therapy.You can get them at bed,bath and beyond.Maybe15$

I get that when I have been writing. Needless to say, I don't write much anymore

Ooh, I forgot to say. Try reading the trigger point self massage book, it has helped with a lot of my hand pain. It might help you tori.

Interesting question. Four years ago my hands gave me so much trouble I had to wear braces on them. It lasted about a year. I have no residual problem with my hands. I think this stuff does move around in the body

Yeah, I get some nasty pains in my hands. It's awful, since all of my hobbies involve me using my hands :(

Yes i have pains in my hands and they are puffed up all the time. my husband recently bought me adopted knife fork and spoon with large rubber grips on. I dont go near the stove or oven because if drop things and i have burnt myself so many times. he does all the cooking. the O T brought me out a kettle sling which means all i have to do is tilt the kettle and i can pour myself a cut of tea. it is a big help as it makes me still feel indepentant.

You should go see your doctor, that is one of the symptoms of carpel tunnel.. get it looked at by professional though.

Yes,I get hand and feet cramps as you described. Suggestions given to me were to take calcium and magnesium. I take calcium daily, but do take other organic vitamins now and I don't have the same problem.
Keep reading and research, and feel better.
