Pain, Numbness And Tingling In The Hands. Not Able To Hold Things. Have Swelling
For the last three days I have been waking up with both of my hand in sever pain. I tried to grab a box of cereal and drop it. Today I woke up with the same pain right at the palm of my hands and and my fingers get so numb I cant feel anything along with a lot of tingling. My for arms ache and it causes a lot of pain to make a fist. Both of my hands are swollen.

Dear Madam/Sir
You are describing what appears to be a "nerve compression" in the upper extremity.
It is difficult to tell the level of compression with only what is described as it can be from the neck down to the wrist area.
It may be exacerbated by the position you are sleeping as it is more in the morning.
You may need an ENG/EMG to identify the source of the problem.
Please describe your symptoms more.
Take care
