I just found out on this site the reason for pain and swelling in my hands Rachel! I used to do serious work outs and loved it. (Going up and down the stairs and power walking) Turns out I was reducing my salts and not replacing them and not moving my hands during exercise! Wow!!!
Yes, I did that first off in cutting my carbs. I have tried a massager, low carbs, ginger, and cayanne peper. I had to go to my doctor. She told me to sleep in splints! Uggs. Thank you Rachel
My hand pain would get worse when I had high amounts of sugar
