I've been dealing with hand pain for about 3+yrs,Now it's so bad that I can barely grip or squeeze anything.It started with my thumbs if I tried to button my jeans the force of my thumbs being pushed upwards would prevent me from buttoning my jeans,Now it's everyday allday the aches so bad I constantly rub them together to ease it they are numb especially when I try to hold anything even my cell phone will trigger the pain I've seen my Dr tested for and ruled out arthritis .Its frustrating im a woman of a certain age but ive always been active its a task now to make dinner ride a bike ect....any ideas on what this could be carpal tunnel is also ruled out thanks guys.

    Have you seen a rheumatologist to rule out autoimmune diseases?

    How old are you?

      Reason I asked is that I presume your Perimenopausal and changes and declining estrogen can have a negative effect on tendons/ligaments/and bones.

      Therefore, I would also see a gynecologist to check your hormones levels. Also, check your D and B-12 levels.
