I have been having chronic to severe pain in my hands and arms. It seems to travel from one area to another. When the pain is severe, I can t close my fingers as too painful. Sometimes it will hit in my elbow but mostly in my hands. I was diagnosed with Gout in my feet a couple of months ago so am on a gout diet with med for that, but this has me baffled. Any ideas? I m unable to take anti-inflammatories as had a GI bleed at one time so have been given Oxycodone or Tyl. #3 for pain. This does little to eliviate the pain and I don t want to get addicted to the codeine either. Thank you. Lucy
