So I have this issue with my hands. More so one particular hand.

For a while now the thumb on my hand has been painful to bend. It doesn't start out that way in the morning but by the end of the day movement is beginning to hurt and to touch the joint doesn't tickle.

Its worse if I've done something hands on during the day - at work i sort through a lot of paper so lots of page flicking, at home things like crochet will set it off, its not even my texting thumb lol. Its more an uncomfortable pain rather than a I need pain killers type if that makes sense.

The other thing is for the past few months - longer than my sore thumb - I've been waking at night with pins and needles in both arms, I thought it was the way it was sleeping but changing positions hasn't helped.

Obviously I'm going to go to the doctor, but I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced something like this before. I worry the dr will tell me I'm an idiot and there is nothing wrong.
