A member asked:

I wak e up in the middle of the night and my hands and mostly my fingers really ache. what does that mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

? Carpal Tunnel: See your doctor and find out if you have carpal tunnel syndrome. This often happens at night. Wearing a wrist splint may help as well as 50 to 100 mg of vit b6 (pyridoxine). Good luck.
