Question: Hello. I have been experiencing tingling in my hands for several months. At night when I wake up from sleeping, my hands are often asleep, even if I am not sleeping in a position that cuts off blood flow. I also have widespread joint pain in my fingers, elboes, knees and toes. The joint pain seems to be eased by excersize and is worse in cold weather. I am only 30 years old. Could this be arthritous? Osteo arthritous runs in my family, but as far as I know knowone ever developed it until old age. I have also recently had stomach surgery which has caused me to loose allot of weight and change my diet drastically. I'm wondering if i could have a vitamen deficiency. I had a MRI recently and it came back normal, so I'm assuming it is not MS or something like that. I have always had shakiness in my hands, and so does my Mom. Doctors think my Mom has essential tremor, so I suppose I could probably have that as well. I guess I was wondering if these symtoms could be correlated.
