HI, my name is shelley and I have had a problem with severe pain in my hands and arms for about 5 years now and I have noticed that eating eggs, chicken and fatty foods make it worse. I also have a problem with my hands going numb from carpal tunnel. About a month ago I decided to cut out all bread and meat, I lost about 10 pounds in 2 weeks and for the first time in about 5 years I slept through the night with no numbness or pain in my hands. what in meat and even possibly bread could contribute to the pain in my hands. its so severe that it wakes me up and no pain medicine or muscle relaxers even touch it.
