Ughhhh I hate humidity it makes my arms and hands ache so bad stupid drs one says its carpal tunnel another I’m just a complainer
Hi Girly!
There is a test done by a neurologist that can determine if you have CT, and how bad you have it. I was diagnosed with mild CT. However, I discovered I was 'ringing my hands and wrists' during sleep in response to the intense pain from an arthritic spine. I have consciously tried to stop this bad habit and it has made a big difference. Of course this is not everyone's reason for aching hands and arms. My hands and arms are numb all of the time, and it is from my neck. The last MRI's were just not good!
I have been through so many specialists, who just cannot see what is in front of them, so we get weighed down with titles like complainer, attention seeker, drug seeker, that I just try to stick to my tried and true. I was lucky to have already had a great husband and wife team of general practitioners, and a great Chiropractor before this all kicked up, I have held on to them for dear life! My GP was the one who discovered my first autoimmune disease, and it was the second Rheumatologist who completed the diagnosis.
The very best advice I can give you is if you are under the care of someone who labels you as a 'complainer' to keep Doctor shopping. Unless they believe you, in my opinion and experience, It's just a dead end!
It's not the humidity that really bothers me, except the cold kind, it's more the drop in barometric pressure that gets me every single time, but we all have our pain triggers!
Hope you can get some solid answers and some relief very soon! Suffering just sucks!
Sending you an understanding hug,
SK
Isn’t that the whole reason why we go see a doctor? To tell them what us hurting so they can diagnose what us wrong! SK gave you great advice - find a different doctor!
My wrists , hands and feet ache so much from the heat and humidity. It really gets bad when I leave air conditioning - we set ours at 76, and then go out in the heat and go to a store that is 60 degrees! The big contrast between the cold and heat just makes it worse. On foggy days I forget to bring my sweater or jacket and put pants and shoes on before going to cold places, which ticks me off for forgetting. Maybe thus us the cause for the pain in your wrists. Rather have it be that then something that may have to be surgically corrected.
Remember- you pay for the doctors services and its your right to choose one that will listen to you complain! This is a great post, Girly - think a lot of us have seen doctors like this! hugs~ Sandi:)
Well I had the surgery for ct and it made it worse I have seen 2 more dpecialist since who claim its not ct and its in my head they did the arthritis panel negative Lyme disease negative MRI and MRI contrast for migraines nothing I could go on and on but won’t but they all say its in my head and I am a complainer and should stop whining and toughen up
I don’t think they will all respond that way. Unfortunately, we have so many additional problems which seems to complicate everything. They obviously have done a lot of the tests to rule out other diseases like lymes and lupus, MS, etc. I’ve seen over 8 doctors and I feel that my needs still aren’t getting met so I continue to seek a doctor that knows the multitude of problems one with fibro has. We can’t just give up and suffer day after day. Everyone deserves the best quality of life - and I’m not ready to end the journey. I know there’s a doctor out there who will help me! You’ll find one too!!! hugs to you ~ Sandi 
Girly, have you seen a Rheumatologist?
I am so sorry...I bought two braces for my hands. They don't got to high and it helps some with my mid arm, wrists, and hands when it's bad....I even ice them...Just a few things that you can do on your own...if you can afford getting the braces; I have used ace bandages; just don't do it too tight...Hope things get better....
Sissy...
Yes, a neurologist insisted I get those, (braces) so I went to a place who specializes and a gal helped me, they were so tight I simply could not stand them! Sissy is so right about not getting them too tight!
I have custom made ones but they just aggravate me so uncomfortable
i have the exact same issue.So painful all the time.Finally convinced my gp to send me to a rheumathologist.But there is a very long waiting list :( I have a support somewhere but sometimes they arent good enough.Many different gp's said it was all in my head , so frustrating.
