Achey hands

[Guest guest]

I recently began having achey hands. I feel like & also catch myself

with my hands clinched in fists. Does anyone have symtoms like this?

I have had surgery (in second grade at age 7, I am now 33) and also in Oct. 1998

(age 25).The surgery was for achilles tendon lengthing and

plantar facitis. Dr. Gould in Birmingham Alabama did the surgery and I was told

for the first time I had CMT. He did a visual and reflex test to determine this.

My dad and his brothers had CMT (now deceased). My

sister also has symptoms and well as several cousins from my dad's

side.

My hands do not ache but they do curl inward and I find myself clinching

them and sometimes wake up at night with my hands in a tight fist. I have

tried

braces that I slept with but didn't find them to be helpful. If you find

something that will help, I would love to try it.

No, I do not have this.

I do have achey hands. A manicure with a hand massage and parrafin in

wonderful. I also find myself clenching my hands at night, but not during the

day.

My hands get sore and I clinch my fists. When the weather gets cold

it's hard on my legs and hands. My feet are always cold. I have to

wear socks to bed year around. Umm maybe that will work for my hands

too, haha Rubbing your hands or hold them under warm water for a bit. Sometimes

I'll sit on my hands. Sitting on my hands helps with my tremors also.

My hands hurt the worst after the tremors. As the weather gets colder, I have

more issues with the pain. Putting my hands under hot running water is good for

immediate results, but won't last too long. Sitting on my hands seems to be the

best. It also helps with tremors too.

I also sit on my hands, but they still hurt. Never had tremors. What

is a good description of tremors. Sorry if that sounds dumb. The achey

hands started just about a week ago and I've noticed being very

fatigue. It's driving me crazy. Kinda of worried because of my job as

a pharmacy tech. I really like it but I've been having trouble opening

bottles and the standing for 8 plus hours a day. Oh well.

I did have all feet pain, but in the last year I have noticed my hands to be

hurting and I have looked down several times and have seen my hands in a fist

and have thought to myself " why am I making a fist for no reason? " . lol this

is before I knew I had CMT...so I

thought nothing of it. I am having more hand pain now and my hands and fingers

get cold very easy, so I know where you are coming from.
