I take Gabapentin and that seem to have helped over the years compared to onset. However, I find the source of my pain often comes from heat and cold extremes, even hot/cold water and can last for hours. Last weekend I had a wedding and madd sure I took my lukewarm shower hours before so I had some recovery time. I also think once at the wedding and reception, the business of it kept my mind preoccupied to where afterward I realized how well I had been. I know the pain is very real, but I’m working on mind exercises/meditation to help.
Hi @fala, I'm sorry to hear you are having so much pain in your hands. Hand pain has a lot of causes and neuropathy is only one. Here are some other possible causes --- What’s Causing My Hand Pain?: https://www.healthline.com/health/hand-pain.
Hopefully you will get some answers and something that helps at your doctors appointment tomorrow.
