Hand Pain Causes

Are you dealing with hand pain? Have you ever in the past? How did you handle it? What is/was the cause?
We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.

My Right hand was paralyzed along with my right arm for 5 years, when some function returned to it on Dec 2,2009 it causes me great pain.One way is it is temperature sensitive in a bizarre way when it really really hurts the worst i have found that the temperature of that hand can be as much as 12 degree's colder than the other hand at the same time measured with the same instrument and blood flow oxygenation and everything else that doctors know how to measure are perfect and equal between the two hands except the temperature. Also have pain in the same hand because no matter how much progressive splinting and such while it was paralyzed i do some joints that are frozen so only limited range of motion is passable and if i use the range i do have for to long at once my hand rebels in pain.as far as just living with the hand it's a 4/10 just being around so you can imagine that it rebellion or temperature excursion can rise to very painful on the quick side of things how do i handle it grin and bear it and my med's between 09 and now i have gotten everything back that i am going to recover from this hand.
cause is believed to be the first American case of HNA
i have no small step for man, but i have 6 tires for mankind,Watch your Toes!
