Awakening with severe hand pain/stiffness

[offinthedistance]

I got severe pain in one wrist not long ago.
wrist to thumb, all along the edge, as it were.
so bad i couldn't even use it to wipe in the loo!
very painful. worried a bit, thought hard, wondered what now.
Then one day it just went away again! Hope yours does too. and yes, i think it was an ms thing.

thank you all for your answers/thoughts.
Well today, I am having tingling along with the pain and stiffness, in my whole hand, including my thumb and index finger.

Sorry but my eyes are still problematic so it is difficult to read and write these days; but I am hoping that something in these links might offer some direction or possibilities to look into.

With love, Erika
