hands and feet

My hands and feet are getting worse by the day. Hands are tingling and go weak with no notice so dropping things alot. Feet HURT so

much worse, have found if i wrap with elastic bandage for a few hours it helps. Gabapatin (sp) just isn't working, i see dr on the 30th any

suggestions anyone???

 

I have one of those soft balls that the nurses have you squeeze when getting blood work done.  I will squeeze that sometimes while watching TV.  It has help keep strength in my hands.

When my fibro first started I had weakness in my hands and tingling/ numbing, probably made worse by my anxiety over it.
Now my hands frequently hurt, but rarely get weak anymore. Since I often get cold too, I like to wear my gloves iin the house. When my hands also ache, I use my suede gloves. They are tight and I find the pressure helps. I also sometimes use a pain spray. It doesn't really take the pain away, but changes the sensation so it helps distract me. My doctor suggested Tylenol arthritis, but it doesn't do a thing for me.

I hope this subsides for you soon.

I think I'm gonna try that squeezing a ball trick to strengthen my hands because they are alot weaker these days.  My foot is the biggest problem with mortons neuroma but I heard of exercises such as walking tip toes and then just on the heels and of course stretching and picking up a pencil off the floor with your toes.  I can't do that one yet and the heels one is a tough one but I guess all exercise helps.  I miss the gym and I really need to lose weight after the holidays so I'm gonna try to get there even if I can't do much.  Sorry I ran off to another subject.....

 

thanks for suggestions, will give em a try. the cold weather started today and i sure can feel it!
