My fingers on both hands are stiff and painfull when I wake up in the morning. What causes this?

Answer 1

It could be a lot of things. I myself have been waking up with exactly the same description for the last 3 or 4 days, but I think I need more potassium (bananas) in my diet - particularly before bed time - and maybe some extra magnesium (blueberries) because I might be tensing my hands in my sleep.
