Incontinence and pain in hands?

Hi Kerryberry,
I am incontinent also but have no pain in my hands. However, since you are going through menopause that may be the reason for the pain in your hands. I'm 77 and when I went through menopause all kinds of odd things happened to my body. I started gaining weight, I craved orange juice, my straight hair turned curly, I felt like I was shaking inside of my body but my body was calm, etc. You might want to go back to your gynecologist and then to your primary care doctor. Either doctor will refer you to a urologist if they feel it's necessary.
For the incontinence, I wear Poise pads with folded toilet paper on top of them. (It makes for easier changing.) These pads work very well and help avoid accidents.
I hope things go well for you.

Thank you for your reply! Interesting about the unusual symptoms. Oddly, the pain and urgency stopped the day after I posted this. But I do wonder if it has a hormonal cause and will still follow up with my doctor. Even if it isn't hormonal, it is still concerning to me as it is so unusual. Like many women, I sometimes had stress incontinence after pregnancy (i.e. when sneezing). However, this is/was much worse. Thank you again.
