pain, tingling, more pain, puffy.. | Arthritis Information

 

my hands are both sore today..but my right wrist and elbow hurt like hell and my right forarm and hand are tingling. when i lay down the tingling intensifies. I am sure I have been through this before..maybe...but it has been a while since I have had such bad ra pain..or what ever this is..and I dont like it. It is not very pleasant.

I am guessing that the tingling is being caused by swelling around a nerve and ibuprofen would be great for that but I cant for the life of me remember if I took a while ago or not. So..I am going to get a heating pad and a pain pill and see what happens.

 

If you have a wrist splint, try that. I had 3 months of  tingly/numbness in my fingers and hand.  Was told I needed surgery.  I decided I'd try the wrist splints a little longer and that seemed to help.  It still comes and goes,  but putting the wrist splint on helps a lot to end the tingly/numbness problem.

This happens to me too. Try naproxen and the splint. It will take 5 days or so for the naproxen to really help. I also found it helped to wrap my elbow to keep it straight at night. Vitamin B6 also helped - just take the recommended dose. I don't know if these things will help you but you can give it a try. Elbow and wrist pain are such a bad combination-when I get like that, everything I try to do with my right hand hurts a lot. Hope it feels better soon.
