I have...and so has others I've talked to.  Could be you have the beginning of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.  There are things you can do, like slow down on the computer, use different keyboard, something to elevate your wrists.  If it gets bad you might want to  see a dr.

Need more specifics on what kind of pain it is.  But if it's like an dull ache or slight stiffness you might get when you are sick try Motrin or Advil.  And maybe a heating pad for about 20 minutes to see if that helps out.  Afterwards stretch to help further loosen up the muscles.

Do not throw the shot put for atleast a weak. Get a brace that restrains you from bending your wrist and use warm towel therapy in the evenings. Aleve would be a good pain medication, as it sounds as if you might have slight joint damage. If it isnt better in a week, you might have to go to the doctor. If you absolutely do not want to go, then get your trainer to tape it up good!

Replace soda by:\nEvery time you have a drink ping and elastic band on your wrist. it works for some. It associates soda with pain then and gradually you don't want any (has to be hard ping). Or chew gum when you want a soda (distracts) my friend tried the pain thin when she wanted to quit smoking and it worked. It works for some.\nOr drink a juice instead.

There are so many things that can cause aching hands: too much keyboarding, arthritis, repetative stress syndrome, tenosynovitis, etc.  Best bet is to make an appointment with your doctor for a definite diagnosis and any necessary treatment.

Definitely sounds like nerve pain.  Sometimes, like in carpal tunnel, swelling around the nerves pinches them and causes pain and numbness.\n\nRest and warm compresses (over a longer period of time depending on how serious it is) will help if this is the case.  Look at your activity and see if you are overworking or injuring the wrist or hand.\n\nIf it doesn't go away after a few days or gets very painful and/or stays numb, see the doctor.  Serious nerve injuries might involve a special splint, therapy, or even surgery.\n\nSpeedy healing!

I didn't find this vitamin online but your description is good, typing may lead to carpal tunnel which may lead to tingling sensation so first of all you want to see a doctor to ensure if carpal tunnel syndrome is your problem and go from there, good luck

carpals are the tiny bones in your wrist (where it bends).  When you overuse your hands a nerve that runs through the carpal tunnel gets inflammed and begins to rub against the inside of the bones.  It can usually be fixed by surgery.  I know a bus driver who's had two operations for it.  Try to work in rest breaks for your hands.  If you don't want to have the surgery, you might try using ice packs and peppermint oil to reduce the inflammation.  A wrist brace might also help.  This is common to anyone who uses their hands a LOT - like guitarists, bus drivers, typists etc...  I hope this helps.

try hand grips or other exersices then make you use your wrists. also you could try rock climbing.

Aversion therapy. Put a rubber band around your wrist. When you think about snacking, pop it so that it hurts a little. If you do it every time you start for the refrigerator or cupboard, you'll begin to associate your desire to snack with pain, & will be less likely even to think of it.

Rest your fingers, hand, and wrist. Stop activities that you suspect are causing numbness and pain. \nIce your wrist for 10 to 15 minutes at a time, as often as once or twice an hour, and take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve pain and reduce swelling. They may help you to relieve symptoms. \nWear a wrist splint at night to keep your wrist in a neutral position and relieve pressure on your median nerve. See an illustration of a wrist splint. \nAlso, do simple range-of-motion exercises with your fingers and wrist to prevent stiffening. Stop if you have pain or numbness. \nGood luck.

Well, my mother and I both had it. It comes from typing, writting etc.. too much. If it is bad the doctor will remove nerves in you wrists that are effecting the pain and tingling. If it isn't that bad it can go away, with a wrist brace, or less usage of the wrist. It really isn't nothing to worry about. Just try to use it less.

Okay, well, both times that you notice the itchy sensation you are restricting on the carpal tunnel.  Maybe this is a predecessor to carpal tunnel syndrome, which is a painful condition of the wrists.  Make sure that you support your wrists when typing.  \nOtherwise, are you sure you are not allergic to any cleansing agents used on keyboards and steering wheels?
