    You should probably see a neurologist with burning, stinging pain as this is usually nerve related.  The sooner you are diagnosed, perhaps the symptoms can be controlled.  There are very specific tests a neurologist can do that other docs cannot.  Our hands are important so finding out what is wrong is essential.  Let us know how it goes.

    I have anxiety attacks  and i believe that this condition can have a blanket effect by covering up all other conditions because anxiety can cause so many problems. If anxiety is one of your conditions then that is in the picture but that aside the doc should be looking at other possible reasons for the problems you are having and not using your axiety as a way out of doing his job...

      Anxiety can also be a symptom of many conditions.  You are right, Margaret, that anxiety can cover other conditions but it is also a "go to" diagnosis these days when a doc cannot quickly determine what the real cause may be.  Acupuncture is great for anxiety, as is laughing, loving, hot tubs, hot baths, watching something funny and entertaining or interacting with folks you enjoy.
