Question where do i start for help????

New to Board, I'll just state the facts, It started with once in a while fingers going to sleep in the middle of the night,first 3 fingers on both hands,alternating between the hands, tingling,now the pain is in knuckles in the fingers ,fatty part under the thumb area:very painfull upon awaking hurts up to elbow,if i bend my writsts down i start to get pain on the palm,middle finger and index. Other times its just very dull I cant close my hands. Went to the Dr. he said get a brace I did. Its a hit and miss for relief. Tried all kinds of pain meds. They dont help.Seems the symptoms come on at night.I dont sleep with my arms up, or underneeth me,also on back by my side.
I also have joint pain very deep in my hip and have had my feet feel like pins and needles. How do i find out if the hand thing is CTS or Arthritis or ???? any response will be helpfull Teri

Cool

Hi Teri
Your symptoms certainly sound a lot like the classic symptoms of cts. It also sounds like you need more help with it too.I'm afraid I've no idea whether your other symptoms are related but my thoughts are that you should go back to the doctor & have more investigations done on your hands.
I hope you find the solution to your problems soon.
Best wishes.
Lidia
