Stiffness Fingers - People

I love the outdoors! I run almost everyday and am training for my first Triathlon, Wildflower...but I don't own a bike yet....yeah, have to get on that. I have completed two marathons, so I have my fingers crossed for this next challenge.

Somewhere around November 18th or 19th of 2007, I started feeling what I thought were Carpal Tunnel symptoms in my right hand. The symptoms included: tingling of my fingers, numbness, and I was having trouble typing. I went out and bought wrist guards, and things designed to help CT patients. The symptoms continued for about two weeks and I promised I?d visit the doctor after Thanksgiving....

By day, I'm a working stiff like the rest of you. I'm blessed to have a great job in the communications field and go to work wondering if today is the day they'll stop paying me for having so much fun on the job and ask me to pay them. In the early hours of the day and late hours of the evening, I'm a sprint triathlete who dabbles in a bit of trail running, rock climbing, yoga, and other...

My weight has fluctuated over the years. I played sports but I ate a good amount of McDonalds. I knew...

Not Diagnosed, I suffer from cold hands when working at the computer. My right hand, the mouse hand, gets numb. My finger tips freeze! I have a blog located at http://www.ColdHands.me. I am a member of the AOTA (American Occupational Therapy Association) and research ways to keep hands warm at work. My favorite thing to do is find things that warm up! I am a computer geek and spend about...

I am a 62 yr old woman who is having sevier pain in almost all of my joints, along with headaches. I have a condition called HypOparathyroidism, which usually happens within 2years after having your thriod removed, but it has been about 30 years since I had mine removed. Because of this, my vitiam level is VERY low and my phrophas is very high. Withih the last few months I have developed sevier...
