Just recently I have had this really annoying pain between the knuckles of my fingers on both hands. It feels like something is ripping or tearing whenever I move my fingers

While this is not currently unbearable it is getting worse - anyone else had this?

Cheers

That's what I would suggest. When I worked at AQA last month a mate of mine got a RSI from going through reams of paper for hour upon hour and he described his pain as similar to yours.

Right... where to start?

Are the joints tender or swollen? Do you have full movement at all the joints? Is it just painful when you move them? Is it more on bending or straightening your fingers? Are you doing anything with your hands that you don't normally do?

My hand joints hurt sometimes when I forget to take cod liver oil vitamin capsules - it's a natural lubricant for the bodys joints.

I dont believe in RSI so I fekking hope not! Howerver it does match the symptoms of CTS.

Looks like IU will be keeping my posts down to a minimum, this post alone hurt so much my eyes are now watering

Whether you believe in it or not, it exists. RSI is an issue, and it's on the increase as people are still adapting to fit, rather than having the correct tools for the job.

It sounds nothing like CTS - if it were the area around your wrist would be hurting, not your knuckles.

If this is giving you grief at work I would strongly suggest that you speak to the H&S people and have them conduct a workplace assesment. If you need further information, then feel free to mail me by my profile.

There is a dull ache around the wrists but it usually fades to a tingling sensation. It feels a bit like when someone gives you a dead arm but constantly there.

OK, so where exactly is the pain, how often does it occur and what are you doing when it does appear..?

Going to keep this brief as I dont want to type - full thing is

Dull ache around the wrists
tearing sensation around the knuckes of the index fingers, worse in the right hand than in the left.
left hand feels "weak", right hand not quite as bad but still there.

thats a brief summery of this morning
