I have moderate to severe pain in my hand for past year?


Question:
Doctors done know what it is but think its some form of tendonitis for which they have no cure.

They say take painkillers, if needed. However, pain killers like advil, tynenol, asprin and even codene dont have any difference. Has anybody experienced such a thing

Answers:
I go through this all the time. Ibuprofen or a painkiller. My friend that was just on Aleve is going through Dialysis due to the damage the Aleve did to her, there's a class action suit against the makers of Aleve over this by the way.

Your hand contains so many bones..they could be worn, arthritic a or rheumatoid. Also the cervical spinal column and the vertebrae, the nerves from the for arm. A lot to consider here.
The doctor probably doesn't think your bad enough to have anything serious done yet.
An arthroscope can tell what's wrong. They put a needle with a small camera in it into your hand and actually see what's going on. Good luck
I generally take just Aspirn & use Lotion on my hands with vitimins, & run warm water on my hands, Yes mine does that to.
Aleve helps me more than tylenol, or ibuprofen and more than the prescriptions that the Dr. advised.
My hands get like that too sometimes. I've worked in a fast food restaurant for almost 8 1/2 years though. Another manager I worked with had the same issue as you. She went to the doctor and they told her it was carpal tunnel syndrome because of the repetitive hand motions at her job. Check that out. As far as pain killers, ask your doctor about a pain management clinic. I have to go to one for my lower back, knees, legs, and feet. I'm only 35 & feel as though I am 75 when I wake up. I can hardly move. This is due to an injury I had almost three years ago. But all the pain management clinic will do is dose you up. If you do go that route, ask for physical therapy too. That will help it get better. Unless it won't ever get any better.
Aleve helps me the best. Make sure you keep them warm, as mine get really stiff and sore when its cold. I have RSD, a condition in which the brain sends signals of pain even though theres no actual injury, to put it in its simpilist form. This causes tingling, burning senstations, and sensitivity. For you it may just be from over use of course.
TRY SOME RUBS FOR ACHES AND PAINS. THEY DO HELP.
