    Dr. Sharma: I am a diabetic, have had carpal tunnel for several years, but it never interferred with my activities, tennis, golf, opening a bottle, etc. Within the last 3 months, I have swollen knuckles on the middle finger of right hand, sharp pains in the palms, both hands, and more weakness. I still play tennis and golf, and use alcohol on hands when I get off court. I assumed it was arthritis, but my Naprapath said it was nerve damage.. Some times swelling more than others.

    I use a hand ball for exercise and massage my fingers daily.
    I would like a homeopathic remedy for this condition as I need to continue my activities. Thank you.

    Hi
    I am a chef and am finding it very painful now to use the ‘ chopping’ position of my hands. Both hands but right hand if very painful from index finger hand joint at the base of the finger being the worst, then through the finger itself. The more I use it the worse the pain, which obviously does not help my job. In the morning both hands are stiff but the right is worse. I also have Chron’s disease but this has been in remission for a long time now.
    About 10 years ago I did have carpel tunnel operations on both hands, however this pain is very different, definitely in the joint of my hand below the index finger.
    If you can advise a homeopathic remedy I would be very grateful
    Kind regards
    Denise

  6. Sylvia Stewart says:

    After a trip to South America 4 mos ago, I returned with severe swelling in hands and wrists as well as knee joints, ankles, cracking in joints particularly shoulders. The pain in my right hand is like electric impulse and pin point as well as the skin on the top surface feeling the same. I am right-handed, and use it more, but the swelling on my left hand is now, after 4 mos. only in fingers 1 and 2, counting from the thumb. It is worst in the morning, but remains throughout the day. The pain in my right hand radiates up toward my shoulder joint, but in the inside of my arm next to my torso. I have had blood tests and test for Zika and Chikungunya viruses which are prevalent in S.A., but the tests were negative.

    I am at a loss as to where to turn.

    Thank you for any information you might be able to give.

    Sylvia Stewart
