Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hi dd,  I've not experienced shooting pains in my hands but have in my feet and up my legs/shins. I don't know if there's a name for it. Usually it passes in a few hours. Sheryl From: dgd301@... <dgd301@...> Subject: [ ] Strange Pain in Hand Date: Sunday, April 18, 2010, 2:12 PM  Since I've had RA, I've had pain in my knees and shoulders and have had cortisone shots in all of them. The latest pain is in my right hand. It's not like joint pain, which I feel when using my hand. It's like a shooting pain -- most commonly shooting out the end of my thumb. More like nerve pain. And occasionally in some other finger joints. Does any of you experience pain in your hands like that? Is there a name for it? dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Could you have DeQuervain's tensynovitis?

Maybe ask your doc about it. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 4 nights ago my right hand turned DEAD cold! There was shooting pain (like fireworks) going through my fingers! I didn't know what to do, except scream inside myself! It was brutal!
