Pain in hands and arms?
Recently I developed pain in both hands and right arm. The pain in right hand is more severe than the left. I tried all kind of pain killers but not relief. My doctor sent me for Xray, ultrasound and EMG and all reports look fine. Doctor is not able to diagnose the problem and has put me on Lyrica. I am not seeing any relief. The pain is shooting pain at times and originates back of my hands and travels all the way up to my forearm. Pain is specially really bad in the morning when I wake up and I feel my hands and fingers are stiff. Doctor has ruled out Carpel Tunnel and Arthritis pain. I am not sure what I need to do next. Its been going on for 3 months and I am totally frustrated and depressed all day. Can someone help or comment on my situation what I need to do. Thanks in advance.
Just to add, I am off work for 4 weeks now and there is no improvement in the pain. The RSI sysptoms should have gone or should have shown sign of improvemnt during this week. But no relief.

Maybe a pinched nerve. Is your matress very old or a good quaility? This may have something to do with it. Just throwing out ideas.
besides being on the computer, is there anything else that you do in a repetitive fashion that could be causing this? try staying off the puter for a few days, and see if it makes a difference. sometimes the doctor can give you a couple of cortisone shots in the joints of your hands, and that helps a great deal. talk to him about it.
