Hand cramps?

Question

I have been getting sharp pains in my hands and arms. Heat is the only thing that helps. I have recently under gone two spinal epidural injections, and was supposed to have another one two days ago. I recently had a cortizone injection in the left knee. The doctor declined as I have been having tremors in my hands. I am currently taking diaretics and potassium. I am trying to stay away from the narcotics that the "pain specialists" are trying to give me. I would rather be in pain now than have a monkey on my back. I have been drinking planty of water, and taking my vitamins. (Cerefolin with NAC)

Any clues as to what could be causing this? I will be seeing my regular physician on Monday.

I have had these years ago, but not recently

Answer 1

Diaretics Are very hard on the body even with the supplement potassium Added. Is there some reason you need to be taking this? I would consider eliminating this drug if it's possible. It has many harmful side effects.

You probably are going to have to see a neurologist to find out about the hand tremors. There can be many causes and one of them could be the onset of Parkinson's disease, MS, or Fibromyalgia. I personally hope it's nothing more than a pinched nerve. I would not like to have anyone suffer from these other conditions. I don't mean to worry you, I'm just giving you ideas as what this could be.

Please let me know what you find out from the doctor.

Answer 2

sounds like arthritis, try over the counter medications for the pain and see if that helps, but definitely bring up arthritis when you see your doctor
