What Causes Pain In Shoulders, Hands And Joints?
I have been experiencing pain in my shoulders and most recently in my hands whereby I could not hardly make a fist. It comes and it goes. My joints do not hurt it feels as though that my hands are cramping. A recent acquaintance said a doctor diagnosed his similar condition as Gout. I thought it may be arthritic but my joints do not hurt. I am 63. Male.

Hi there.
You could be suffering from pinched nerve in the neck sure to arthritis of spine, slipped disc. Apply hot water bottle to painful areas. Take pain killer and muscle relaxant combination for relief. Consult your Orthopaedic surgeon for proper diagnosis based on clinical examination and necessary investigations like Xray or MRI.
