What Causes Contractions And Pain In Hand?
I have a question. I have been going to a Rumatoligist as I have RA. She is out on Maternity leave and my primary is gone for 2 or 3 weeks. My hands are contracting and I have timed them as it is getting harder to manage and I am in a great deal of pain. The contractions have hit my left arm and hand real bad and my left hand only so far. My left leg and foot are swelling . It seems no one wants to touch me. I hate taking my hydrocodone 500mg pills as they are a narcotic . It is really getting bad. I will not go to ER as they will not do nothing. With out my hands working I am nothing. I can not even hold on to something. Help

you need to continue your medication in absence of other forms of treatment.taking moist packs,keeping yourself warm will help to ease swelling and pain bit.you can start practicing yoga,especially suryanamaskar.
