Please help. It started 2 weeks ago. I woke up in the middle of the night and my entire hand was burning sooooooooooooo bad all I could do to stop from crying was to go outside and immerse my hand in the freezing pool water. I went to my doctor and he said possible CTS, I bought the special gloves for this and NO relief. I have absolutely No pain anywhere else. Now it's just the 3 fingers and it only happens when I lay down which is at bedtime and I am awoken with this awful,burning,numbing pain, I have TRIed EVERYTHING, I am not sleeping on my hand,arm or anything else that would cause this other than my neck and back, I have had in the past 2 cervical operations, could this be another pinched nerve? Why would it come only when I am sleeping or should I say trying to go back to sleep? Right this minute I have Bengay slathered on this hand with a latex glove covering it and I am typing with my left hand HELP Suggestion

I punched a wall 3 weeks ago and I am having the same symptoms as you. But I can move my hand but not all the way. When this happened to you did you hit your hand at first?

sounds exaactly what i am dealing with. I can't believe how painful it is. I tried putting my hands over my head( way worse) putting ice (if you can imagine it getting worse, it did) the only thing that helps just a little is putting my hand down below my waist but it only worked if I got up. but now it works if i dangle my hand and arm off the bed till the pain goes away. Unfortunately it happens again when I fall asleep again. Please post if you find something that helps, I will too

I have had the painful swelling then i am like wow my hands are on fire, everyone i have feel them say wow they really are hot. I had to,quit my job cause thats all we use is our hands and its so depressing to what my quality of life has become. I knew i had carpal tunnel syndrome in,both wrista, i had the test done in 2006. Well recently i thought i would get the surgery and start feeling more self worth and be able to work and live....bad news, it was so painful healing i literally screamef for 48 hours, now thats over with and my scar is just like two months old, the scar is super sensitive but just ro my luck my symptoms are still here, still hot and swelling and burning. I make ice cubes pop in my hand. Been tested for RA and all that and no,luck. The worst part of all is all these doctors i am seeing are all scratching there head like... I dunno?? We are gonna have to refer u to another specialist!!! Someone reading this post.. .please help!!!

I am having the same exact symptoms as you. I mean you have explained to a T what I am going through. Started about 2 weeks ago. Go to sleep, and around 4 or 5 oclock in the morning it wakes me up burning so bad that I wake my husband up crying. The burning is so bad its like sticking your hand into a coal fire. I put my hands above my head and it makes it worse, lay it on the bed flat, dont help, The only thing that helps it to put off side of bed and that only helps enough to keep me from crying, the only thing that helps is to get up and move around. I am a tough lady, have always been able to deal with pain, even being run over by tractor, but let me tell you this is the worse pain I have ever had in my life. Please write back if you have found what this is. VERY DEPERATE

Ohmygosh - EXACTLY what I'm dealing with. And I'm reading a BUNCH of people here with the EXACT story....they all sound like I wrote them. I had just been explaining this to my husband, and it's as if I stood and read all of your comments. I'm going to get to the bottom of this, but I must admit, there is a bit of relief knowing I'm not alone or not the only one suffering from this weird thing. Seems like it's rather common. I do NOT think it's from, like the message therapist says, overuse. I had this come on at a time when I was doing almost NOTHING. No activity. I'm guessing it's more of a nerve ending thing. I have a sister and friends who think it's highlighted from being recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Maybe. But the the young folks here who most likely don't have that, seem to have the EXACT symptoms and routine that I do. Mystery. I think someone was on the right track with the Vitamin B6. But I've been thru the samd d@&! thing....sleep a couple of hours, wake up like there's a 3 alarm fire in your left hand, numbness, only goes away or gets better if you dangle your hand over the side of the bed towards the floor, you have to GET UP - so that tells me it has EVERYTHING to do with circulation. Have no fear, friends. We'll figure it out.
