What Causes Swollen Bone Joints Along With Numbness In The Hands?

So some are hard to explain and some i dont really notice or remeber until something reminds me. Been going on for many years. The red swallon join thing. Not sure its its joints. May just be tissue around joints, or skin that makes joints feel sore. Tends to be neer joints but tendons are near as well. Leg paralysis. Fall and cant move legs for 20 mins or so. Only happened twice over last 4 years. Twichting in pointer finger and thumb. This is my most common twitching Jerking in shoulder/arm area. Amost like my muscles are contracting pulling arm into body Hads jerks. This happens quite frequently. Almost looks like i am playing piano and wrisst is main source of movement although fingers move as well All fingers twitching. Looks like playing guitar Pain in Neck are through shoulders. Pain is anything from dull nagging pain to shooting sharp pain. Different meds help the differnt pain as well Numb in both hands. Havent be able to feel them since Aug 1st. Pin pricks feel like dull rubbing. This is accompanied by a dull pain as well, however when shooting pain comes down my shoulders it goes onto hand as well Leg Twichting. This was bad yesterday in my left leg. I jever really paid attention to legs before so idk if it happens more or not. Im in so much pain all the time its hard to notice things sometimes Numbness in forearms Numbess in neck (noticed the other night but think has been that way for a while). Trouble sleeping, even when pain is tolerable Think this is a good start. I told Dani we need to write stuff down as I feel it or it happens. Who knows how much stuff has happened over the years and i ignored

Hello,

Well, these symptoms are suggesting neurologic issues and usually, there is a disorder of peripheral nerves in arms and hands.It is also called radiculopathyy. It suggests entrapment of a nerve rootin your cervical spine in its origin or course. This may be the cause of your arm numbness.

It can be caused by lifting weights, episodes of over-exertion during work, long hours on computer, inappropriate posture while sleeping or sitting, lack of proper nutrition-exercises-rest-recreation or any other relevant past medical history.

If it has been persistent or even increasing for a few days, you need to visit your orthopedician. Depending upon the clinical findings they might ask you to get an MRI done, which shall help establish a diagnosis and in turn allow one to formulate a treatment plan.

It may be in most cases temporary and self-limiting illness that usually the treatment goes in following lines: rest, lifestyle modifications (namely- avoiding pillow while sleeping, following a healthy diet plan, maintaining suitable posture while working on computer/driving, avoiding any activity that strikes neck discomfort).
In case the pain is not adequately relieved with the present treatment then you may need oral muscle relaxants and methylcobalamin supplements for proper relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
