I had CT surgery on both wrists/hands about 3 yrs ago.   When I started feeling the numbness and tingling, I told my boss at work immediately. They sent me to the W/C Dr. From there they tried physical therapy and when that didn't work, they sent me to see a surgeon. If you have a soft firm ball that fits in your hands, you can excersize your hands to releive the discomfort. Also, simple excersizes such as,  open your hand and take your thumbs and touch the oposite side of your palm. Slide your thumbs up slowly. Do this with each finger a few times. You can probably find other excersizes on the web that you can incorporate into your daily routine. Please see a Dr.  Don't wait. It will just get worse. Get it taken care of. Good Luck.  Erin

Hi Debbie I have also noticed my arthritis has got worse since weight loss,I thought it would have been the reverse!!  I need both knees replacing as well ,I am a good bit older than you,how did your weight loss go? I am wondering if ( apart from my outlet being too big ) if my lack of mobility is not helping my weight loss,on the day I am able to walk I try to walk 2 hours solid,but I have found by doing this it just irritates the knees even more !

Hope your pain is gone now, but if not try seeing a chiropractor.  I had pain like that and it was sciatica.  The chiropractor was the only one who could give me relief for it, my spine was out of alignment.  You may take pain meds. to feel better but the cause will still be there if your spine is misaligned.  Worked wonders for me, especially when I was pregnant with my first child.
