What Causes Joint Pain,tingling Sensation In Hands And Numbness In The Finger?

My symptoms are picky/tingling in hands, numbness in my fingers, swelling, joint pain in my wrists and knuckles. Weakness in my hands. My feet also swell and the bottoms of my feel burn at night. I also have been diagnosed with plantar faciitis. My knees ache and they creek when I go up steps. Do you think this is all related? Or, have I just added carpul tunnel to my list of problems.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
dear patient,according to the symptoms you have described,it indicates that you have developed carpal tunnel syndrome,but to confirm it ,the doctor needs to physically examine the patient.You do suffer from osteoarthritis in the knee due to the aching and creeking noise heard during walking up the stairs and also the swelling in the feet.I reccommend you to avoid using stairs and standing for a longtime as this will worsen your knee.
Take calcium+vitamin d3 supplement regularly. DO regular exercises of the knee joint,only sitting exercises. consult a physiotherapist for the same.
as your carpal tunnel problem is concerned,you can wear wrist splints available at pharmacies at night sleep to avoid any compression of the wrist during sleep.If you are overweight ,doing aerobic exercises and losing weight,help most of the patients.if this fails then the final option is surgery to relieve your pain.which is done only in very severe pain.
i request you to get a consult with neurologist,who will be the best doctor to guide you further for further advice.
hope that answers the question.
