I recently started waking up with a burning sensation in my hands, and it will not go away easy. A few years ago I experienced hands going numb for no known reason at night. I finally went to a chiropractor and it stopped after getting adjusted. Now several years later, my hands are so much worse. They started out numb and quickly upgraded to the worst pain I have ever experienced. Rheumatoid arthritis runs in my family. And I'm thinking if this is that then how fix my dad ever live with it. My pain is like being on fire literally. So if my whole body did this I would probably kill myself. It's really that bad. I work on a computer everyday and after reading from the forum on this topic. Similar symptoms are leaning towards carpal tunnel and/or knots that happen from specific type of movements at work. So I have a doctor's appointment soon and hope that my doc has some insight on this. Don't want to always deal with it. It is a nightmare and it will not stop right away and it always happens when I sleep. Hopefully this helps. I would love your input on this if you have something. I'm 41 Thanx!
