What Cause Painful Joints And Numbness In Hand After Injury?

I am a 49 year old female, I reached behind the car seat and hurt my shoulder months ago, I don t know if one has to do with the other, but for about three weeks now my joints in my hands have been hurting severly ,also my fingers, at night they go numb but when the feeling comes back it s not tingling its very painful, almost like my hands have lockjaw they will not not bend. If I use aspercream or warm water it helps but pain is getting worse. I can t grip or twist or even hardly open care door. Can you help me Lisa Donald

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi you had hurt your shoulder 5 months ago and now have pain and numbness in hand which increases at night. i am of the opinion that this pain has nothing to do with your injury but my Diagnosis in your case is Carpat Tunnel syndrome where one of your nerves is pressed and causes pain ,numbness and stiffness. I would advice NVT Test , amd pain killers for now.
