This pain as just started within the last month. I have pain in both hands in my sleep and this wakes me up. My hands also swell and sometimes it is hard to grip anything. Does anyone have the answer to this pain? Thank you.

Have you ever been tested for Capal Tunnel Syndrome? It is where your carpal bones are compressing on the nerves that are in your wrist and hands. Typical symptoms are numbness, weakness, pain, tendencies to dropping items, and generaly what you have described. The test is very simple. You need to find an orthopedic surgeon or an Occupational Therapist that can perform a test called.....NCV. The test is painless and will instantly tell if you have this. There are exercises that you can do to help releave some of your symptoms, but generaly in worse casses you will need surgery. It is a day surgery and usually you are only out of work for the weekend. and you are only wearing a brace afterwards. Look into it and good luck

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or a pinched nerve.

It might be carpal tunnel syndrome caused by repetitive
motion from working on a computer all day or some other form of work or play.
