I have a question about some strange sensations on my hands. I'm guessing it's some kind of neurophathy thing?
It's an achey sensation on the top of my fingers and along the top of my hand. It's worse on the right, which is strange because I'm left handed. My joints aren't swollen, skin temp doesn't feel hot or anything, just a very unusual aching. It's been coming and going for the last two weeks or so and gets annoying enough that I take ibuprofen which helps only minimally. I haven't been doing any activities out of the ordinary.
Anyone else experience this?

Hi Julia,
I've had this for years, but it really gets to the point of being bothersome when I've been holding a book I've been reading, or knitting or crocheting. I purchased a pair of those massage gloves (the ones with the finger tip cut off). I use these now when working around the house or holding a book for any length of time. They really help.
I can only attribute it to arthritis or neuropathy. But it does get painful at times. I hope you will mention it to your doctor at your next appointment. Perhaps he will have an explanation for it.

Pooh,
Thanks for the tip about the gloves. I hadn't thought of that.
Another thing to add to my doc visit cheat sheet!
