hi all,

i'm new to this site, until last night i just put up with my hands being the way they are, but last night my son and i were trick acting and he squeezed my fingers...i let out a roar and burst into tears, which upset my son.

now dont get me wrong, my fingers hurt like mad, but i dont think thats why i was crying.

i'm just so fed up with never being able to do anything normal because of my hands.
i cant even sleep normally.
its like i have this constant shadow hanging over me.

i get days where my hands wouldnt bother me as much, and days when they are so sore and swollen that i can barely make a fist.

does anyone else feel fed up with this flaming this?
carple tunnell syndrome is a nightmare.

sorry for all the moaning, i'm just so fed up with this!!!

" Hi, I have the same problem and can't sleep much. I just joined this site to get some support. I am trying to avoid surgery but am going to start looking for a reputable doctor because I'd give anything to be able to get a good night sleep! It is really sad to have CT isn't it? hang in there "
