I have had this problem for years but it is bothering me more and more lately. I seem to sleep with clenched fists. When I get up my hands are swollen, 'spongey' and it takes ages for the 'pins and needles' or numbness to go away. And lately, my hands hurt - I don't really know how to describe it.

I can't even wear my wedding ring - it won't go on!

Any ideas?
