Sharp Pain In Middle Of Palm, Fingers Numb And Unable To Make A Fist. Is It A Part Of Fibromyalgia?
Hi yesterday on two separate occasions I went to grab something off a shelf and suddenly experienced a very sharp pain in the middle of my palm radiating up my arm lasted approx 1-2 min and then was unable to make a closed fist my figures are now numb and if I press on my palm it sends pain immediately up my arm. My hand also feels very tight now. I have been diagnosed with Fybromyalgia two years ago so my question is could this be part of the Fybromyalgia or could it be something unrelated

Hi. Your symptoms are more suggestive of carpal tunnel Syndrome. Are you suffering from any general disorder like hypothyroidism, diabetes or so. I would advise you to take a opinion of Orthopedic surgeon, Go for tests of thyroid, blood sugar.
