Question 7

i wake up with swollen, burning, painful hands. why?

Accepted Answer

? Carpal tunnel: A common cause of morning hand pain is carpal tunnel syndrome (cts).  This is particulary true if you sleep with you wrists curled in.  Also, if your daily responsiblities cause you to perform repetitive wrist actions (typists, mechanics, seamstress, secretaries etc).  Usually cts symptoms involve the thumb side of the hand and not the ring and little finger.  This should be evaluated.

Question 8

what does swollen itchy painful hands and feet come from?

Accepted Answer

Some ideas...: Itchy skin can be an allergic reaction. Sometimes itching is due to medicine effects, pregnancy, liver disease, kidney disease, intestinal parasites, etc... A primary care doctor can evaluate, and look for kidney and heart problems that can cause swollen limbs, plus some autoimmune disorders, and even some infections. So, there are many things for the doctor to consider.

Question 9

hi there

i'm getting a  swollen and painful right hand after sleeping...could this be a sign of r.a?

Accepted Answer

Hand swelling : Inflammatory arthritis like RA can cause hand swelling, but it can be from other problems. If it is the entire hand not just joints I would be concerned with vascular issues.   Ask your doctor

Question 10

hands and veins very swollen and painful. my hands and feet often swell (due to stimulants?) but this is extreme. veins on hands bulge more than feet

Accepted Answer

Discuss w/ provider: The provider who prescribed the stimulants needs to know about this symptom and consider if it is a side effect or something else. In any case, that can lead to a corrective plan. Perhaps alternatives to long term stimulants can be found - they play rough w/ bodies over time. Call ASAP and best wishes for resolving this.
