Hi Mathie, just add my 2 cents of my crippling hands. My hands are a mess of Carpel tunel, AS, and OA. Problems from my C-spine usually cause pain and numbness in my arms and sometimes numbness in my hands.
What does your Rheumy say about your hands? Mine can tell me which joint, ligament, and tendon is effected by which disease or condition, interesting.
