IKR? Like maybe visit your primary care physician? Not a nurse or PA or urgent care-see an actual primary care MD.
SMH. |

Your GP/primary care doc might be able to diagnose it, or will refer you possibly to a neurologist or orthopedist.
Have you ever been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome? Or cervical radiculopathy/spinal stenosis in your neck? Asking because both are common cause of hand pain. |

Anyone here suffering with carpal tunnel syndrome, this is the best product I've found to manage my carpal tunnel syndrom and I try to share it far and wide with fellow sufferers:

| are your hands swollen? are they numb in the night? carpal tunnel has some component of tingling/numbness. RA can have symmetrical swollen joints. |

| Bilateral? Any swelling? If it's not carpal tunnel, maybe something rheumatic = rheumatologist. |
