Both my hands started hurting this week and the pain has become excruciating.
Who do I see? |
An amputator? |
Urgent care for an X-ray? Did you injure yourself? |
start with primary care physician
If you have carpal tunnel and I got it in both hands at the same time I found plunging my hands in buckets of ice water helped manage the pain. |
Didn’t injure myself.
Started in one hand then started in the other. |
Do you work on a laptop? |
Ortho Virginia has hand specialists. I saw Dr. Croog a couple times. |
Dr Laine at orthovirginia is a very good hand specialist. |
Cholesterol medication messed up my hands |
Primary care, because something that affects both hands could be the result of a virus or some random mysterious general health thing. It might not necessarily have much to do with your bones or joints. |
Orthopedic. |
My hands really hurt when I hold my cell phone and type on my laptop. They also hurt when I try to open a jar. |
I would go to a doctor. |
An electrician? Maybe a plumber? |
No |
