HELLO SUNSET,IT COULD VERY WELL BE.I KNOW THE COLD AFFECTS MY HANDS AND WRISTS ALOT,WHAT ARE YOUR OTHER SYMTOMS WHEN USING YOUR HANDS?HAVE YOU HAD YOUR HANDS CHECKED?GOOD LUCK-TRISH

Yes. My hands take a longer time to warm up than they used to -- it's like the nerve retains the sensation of cold longer than it's supposed to. It's odd...

hey guys, i am sooo glad i found your messages. you can't even imagine. First of all, i go for my nerve conduction test in the morning. it seems like my hands are always freezing- and i can't hardly hold things when this happens. i also thought maybe this was too much time on the computer becuase they seem to get colder when i use my mouse. anyhow, yes, mine ache much worse when its cold, and the numbness is worse too....i will let ya know what they say after my test tomorrow....have you had one of those? how bad did you find the pain? i hate the idea of being electricuted....even though i know that is not the idea behing the test, all the same.... bye!

i was diagnose with rsd . i had ulnar nerve damage .
i just had surgery guyon's canal and carpal tunnel .
at first i had less pain as before surgery but now the pain is back 15 days after surgery . i still can,t tolerate cold . my surgeon tells me i will be better in 6 months . he refuse to send me to therapy . my hand has relasped . i don,t know what to do . he got paid for the surgery an now i feel like he is done with me . i wonder why pain came back and will i ever be able to tolerate cold . what should i do . should i see a neuro. my surgeon was a hand specialist .
