Suggest Treatment For Burning Pain In The Hand

I have severe pain like burning in my hand. It is worse when I am laying down. It is mostly in my right hand, but in my left a little too sometimes. I can feel it up to my elbow, but not too bad in that area. Numbness and tingling in hand too, mostly middle fingers.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

You are very likely having carpal tunnel syndrome. This causes discomfort, tingling and numbness in the hand that may extend to the elbow.

You may use ibuprofen to reduce inflammation and pain. If you see no improvement, or if you are a pregnant woman you will need to see your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj,
General and Family Physician
