Check with a medical professional. Arthritis causes inflammation of the joints and Rheumatoid Arthritis causes the joints to swell and becomes crippling, the hands often are disfigured.  Panic Attacks cause some to have Carpal Spasms which are very painful and cause the hands to draw up, trying to straighten the fingers can actually break the bones.  When the attack fades the use of the hands is regained.

Well, I have 2 of them!  Seriously, you could have neuropathy.\nSymptoms depend on the type of neuropathy and which nerves are affected. Some people have no symptoms at all. For others, numbness, tingling, or pain in the feet is often the first sign. A person can experience both pain and numbness. Often, symptoms are minor at first, and since most nerve damage occurs over several years, mild cases may go unnoticed for a long time. Symptoms may involve the sensory or motor nervous system, as well as the involuntary (autonomic) nervous system. In some people, mainly those with focal neuropathy, the onset of pain may be sudden and severe.\nSymptoms may include numbness, tingling, or pain in the toes, feet, legs, hands, arms, and fingers.\nSometimes, diabetes causes neuropathy.\nMy husband takes Neurontin for his burning feet and he is not diabetic.\nI would see a doctor if this continues.

I think you are referring to a condition called Fibromyalgia whereby muscles become extremely painful and movement is severely hampered. It is a kind of rheumatism and is linked to ME and IBS. \nIt comes and goes, and sufferers are better off in warm conditions. Although the pain can be helped a little, no cure has been found yet.

a great great book is about carpal tunnel disease, in general for the hands it is excellent - by kate mcgomery (sorry, spelling). she talks about all sorts of exercises that I have found useful for the wrists - massages, etc.  However, mild and correct exercises are useful in the hands and repet. movements not good...like too much at the computer!

It could be but there are also non-threatening conditions that may cause your hands to shake. See a doctor. My father-in-law's hands do this and so did his mother's. It was something not serious that he just took medecine for.

You might have a low imune system, try going to your doctor because there are a lot of things that can cause that.

*Palmoplantar Pustulosis sounds like a likely possibility.  You can learn about it here:\nhttp://www.aocd.org/skin/dermatologic_diseases/palmoplantar_pustu.html\n*Also tinea infections (also known as athlete's foot) can infect the hands as well, though rare.\n*Hand Foot and Mouth Disease (has anyone checked her throat)?\n*Blistering Dactylitis (caused by strep) - more common in kids\n*Dishydrotic eczematous dermatitis\n*Pustular psoriasis\n\nNone of these are serious, and all could be diagnosed by a dermatologist.

Sounds like Raynaud's Disease: My ex suffered from it.\n \nRaynaud's syndrome is a mysterious and distressing disease where the small blood vessels of the fingers or toes go into spasm unpredictably, causing numbness and then pain, and then dilate to give equally painful red skin. \n\nIt is usually referred to as Raynaud's 'syndrome' where it follows the prolonged usage of vibratory tools such as pneumatic drills, and Raynaud's 'disease' where there is no apparent cause. Occasionally it happens as a consequence of another condition and in this context it is described as Raynaud's phenomenon. \n\nThere are many conditions that can cause it, but most of them are rare. They are usually diseases in which the immune system is faulty and prone to attack its own tissues [auto-immune disease], such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosis [SLE] and scleroderma, or diseases that obstruct and damage blood vessels directly. Apparently, even a severely under active thyroid gland can be responsible. Obviously any underlying conditions need to be detected and treated. \n\nTreatment for the problem itself really involves keeping the extremities warm and trying to avoid the conditions that make it worse; such as cold, physical knocks and vibration. Minimising emotional stress has a significant beneficial effect too. It is important to avoid drugs that are known to restrict blood vessels. These include Beta-blockers [used for high blood pressure and angina], Ergotamine [a treatment for migraine], and for some, the oral contraceptive pill. Smoking should be avoided because nicotine itself has a direct vasoconstricting effect on blood vessels. \n\nThere are medications that relax muscle in the walls of arteries and counter any restriction of blood flow [vasodilators]. These are relatively safe and can be quite effective. Calcium channel blockers, such as Nifedipine are commonly used. Their other effects include lowering blood pressure, constipation and swollen ankles, but usually these are mild and reversible - so whether one takes them or not depends on the overall level of benefit. \n\nThere are other drugs and even operations that can be tried in severe cases. Sympathectomy is a procedure that cuts those nerves that signal the blood vessels within a limb to vasoconstrict. It is very effective, but doesn't necessarily last forever.

Possibly Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.  Could also be a symptom of diabetes.  See your doctor.

Possible suggestions, pinched nerves, carpal tunnell, symptoms of diabetes;   If there is any numbness in your arm, you need to call the Doc tonight especially if the hand is cold or discolored.  Your circulation might be restricted-depending on your age, and other health issues, this doesn't sound right--I probably wouldn't wait till morning.

Go to the doctor.  It could be any number of things and no one here cand diagnosis it.  Sounds like a nerve problem (NOT poor circulation IMHO) that may be associated with diabetis, lupus, or some other serious health condition.  PLEASE go see a doctor!

This is a condition of burning pain, stiffness, swelling, and discoloration of the hand. In some cases the cause is unknown-  other cases it can be caused by an injury or the symptoms may appear after surgery.  Other causes include pressure on a nerve, infection, cancer, neck disorders, stroke, or heart attack.
