Yes she has a primary physician. She also has hemachromototis (high iron level) She has to have her blood drwan (one pint)every three weeks. Also in 2001 she had a neck fusion on the C6/7 in her neck.

Could working with a rust remove (Bullfrog brand).

This action started ninr months ago and it started with her right hand and now has progressed to her left hand. Now the stinging (pins and needles_ now throbbing to the point she can not sleep at night. She has also a loss strengt in both hands. Her hands are also swelling at night and now has started swelling during the day.

She is very active working at home, other peoples home, and assist me with my business.

The fleshy part of the hands and the muscle is tender and sore. The pain is now moving up the arms to the shoulder.

Hi, I would really recommend you have her physcian paged and let him know all of her symptoms. If it is moving up her arms and shoulders this could be something serious. He will be able to give you expert advice and may recommend she go to the ER. Not sure but this could have something to do with her iron levels. Please let me know what the doctor says and any other questions please let me know.

If satisfied with answer press ACCEPT and leave POSITIVE feedback. Thank you
