Guest guest Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 I have those spasms, and have not found anything that helps, but have only tried skelexin.....i'm worried that the police will pull me over for drunk driving-as I have chronic migraines also-which doesn't help....and I can tell him, i'm not drunk I have FMS? I don't have burning feet, I have burning hands! And I cannot put ANY pressure on them...and also find relief by blowing cold air/fan over them...and often ask my husband if my hands 'look OK' because they feel swollen and twisted...I have to switch hands on the steering wheel about every 3 sec. Feels like a burning type pain, similar to when you hit your thumb with a hammer? It especially bothers me when i'm trying to sleep, I have to put a pillow over the top part of my hand and lay my hands palms up on top of the pillow to take ALL pressure off of them, and I drop things constantly, and cannot open a bag...the doctor suggested physical therapy for hand strengthening exercises...my husband laughed and said 'does she know what you do?' (I spin and knit alot, and exercise as much as I can when i'm up to it..and I told her I can do my own hand strengthening exercises, thanks but no thanks.) I've often thought that my hand problems may be due to my working outside in the cold weather with water (I have animals to care for) and getting them frostbit one too many times--as it feels just about like when your hands get numb from cold and are warming up and burn and tingle--does this sound familiar to any of you? I was on neurontin up to 900 mg and had to many side effects and no relief, so I had to stop it. kmnewberry@... _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
