Hand Pain - Stumped!!
A few months ago I started experiencing a burning pain in my left hand over and around the 2nd knuckle. It feels exactly like I burnt my hand on the oven or a curling iron, etc., but there has been NO injury whatsoever to the area. No numbness or tingling, just pain bad enough at times to bring tears. No swelling and mild if any redness. The doc is stumped. Please help

Does it feel like joint pain at all? It doesn't sound like carpel tunnel since there is no numbness or tingling. Joint pain can feel like a burning pain. I have it in my thumbs and most fingers everyday. Even if there is no swelling there could still be inflammation. Have you tried taking something like Aleve or Advil?
Thanks for the info - I will have to look into that. I wouldn't say that alternative medicine is popular in WY - after all, it is still the "old west" in a lot of ways - but it is gaining popularity. I have a cousin in Edmonton that was trained as a holistic therapist and she got me interested into it all.
I guess I am not sure - most of the joint pain I have felt has been more of a deep ache, like the bones grinding or pressing against each other. The only time I have felt anything even remotely like this would be post surgical in a joint. I haven't tried the aleve, but I take a prescription anti inflammatory every day, and even though it helps my regular joint pain, it does nothing with this
Hi again. And you're welcome!.
Oil pulling is actually a recently discovered "swishing" technique using oil instead of mouthwash to enhance dental hygiene and dental health. Oil happens to be a superior cleaner, yet we don't think about oil this way at all.!
I use 1/2 tsp of extra virgin coconut oil first thing in the morning ( I allow myself just a little water before I start) and I swish rather strongly, pulling the oil through my teeth back and forth and around my mouth for about 15-20 minutes. This action pulls toxins and bacteria from the mouth and they all get expelled once you're done and you spit it out.
Immediately afterwards you must rinse very well.
One of the top suggestions for gum, dental and general mouth health.
I prefer to use E.V.C.O for pulling, cooking and over my toast or steamed veggies because of all its unique health properties: Anti-fungal, Anti-bacterial, Anti-microbial, Anti-parasitic, Anti-oxidant and it contains Lauric acid that is found only in human milk, which improves the immune system. Also it does not store as fat in our body, increases metabolism and remains stable in high temperatures (no free radicals).
It's the ultimate choice for me. There's tons of research on the net.
And I'm so glad to see that alternative medicine is popular down in WY.
Up here in in the North it's just in its infancy. We have a long way to go!
From a previous posting of mine in another forum regarding holistic healing.
Off topic perhaps, however, staying within the limited scope of energy at the molecular level is actually keeping us at the same place where our western and somewhat disfunctional medical model exists.
We need to understand and respect the interconnection
between body, mind, heart, soul and spirit.
Only then we can move ahead and connect with our higher self.
The Universal Power communicates when we are out of alignment. Negative events and circumstances interfere with the wellness of our body, mind, heart and soul.
Bad memories, negative thoughts and emotions hold their own energy constellation and disrupt the energy flow in the meridians and chakras.
-A young man develops MS a year after his beloved fiancee died.
-A lady in her forties with unbearable back pain and spasms has 2 unsuccessful back surgeries (years of suppressed emotions )
-A mother in her thirties develops breast cancer herself a year after her daughter gets diagnosed with cancer.
-A very healthy 50 year old lady develops insomnia and severe itchiness following her daughter in law's diagnosis with cancer.
-A young lady in her twenties is diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and IBS following years of chronic stress.
The above are some of my recent actual cases that illustrate some of the energy structures and inter-connections.
There are no protocols in the basic energy level that will address the above peoples' chronic and or very serious conditions on their own. No amount of supplements, medicines, surgeries or herbs can do much more other than offer- potentially- temporary relief.
My intention here is not to insult or blame Doctors, Herbalists, Nutritionists etc. because they are representing an important piece of the Holistic entity. When used
in synergy with the higher forms of energy and treating a person as whole, true healing can be achieved.
Some of you have asked me about Energy Psycho-Spiritual healing and what it involves.
It would be of no value to anyone for me to give you details to practice this at home. The one suggestion I could offer, is to download the free EFT manual (google EFT and you will find many sites) and use the basic tapping techniques for any physical or emotional issue.
Myself I do intergrative energy work after connecting to the Universal, Divine energy that is vital in the healing process. Once centered and grounded I use inner guidance and intuition to facilitate the balance of the meridians and chakras.
I am so thankful to all my great teachers that gave me so many tools to find and clear energy blockages, where traumas and emotions are held,
as well as identifying and clearing any other obstacles interfering with the healing process.
It is truly a humbling and rewarding experience seeing my clients heal and move on with their lives.
If you are going through any great physical, mental or emotional challenge in your life, I urge you to seek a a generous (in heart and soul) and humble Energy Therapy Practitioner.
And sorry, I do not do distance work at the present time.
(That may change in the near future)
I'm grateful for all the positive postings and contributions here.
Blessings to all,

Thank you for your input - I am familiar with chakra balancing and such, especially when using crystals along with it, but I will look into the rest. Alternative medicine is so much more common up there than here - the military hospitals have only finally agreed to the beneficial effects of acupuncture in the last 5 years or so!
What is "oil pulling"? I have never heard of it. I do try to incorporate alternative and natural care into my practice, including herbal and essential oil treatments and solutions (almost unheard of in American dental practice!)

Hi Spitfire2531 and welcome to the forum.
There's definitely a trigger mechanism to this para-pain.
The connection may be difficult to establish.
Nevertheless it doesn't matter at this point.
The basis of this symptom is energetic.
In order to correct this ,the Energy "malfunction" must be treated.
Energy Medicine is probably the only health modality that would address your situation.
A Practitioner of Energy Medicine and PsychoTherapy may be able to help you.
By re-balancing your Meridians/Chakras your Energy system will get restored,
and hopefully the pain will just disappear.
Should you be able to "guess" a possible trigger ( it probably doesn't have a logical explanation as this may be "held" anywhere in your body) it might speed up the process.
This information is classified in the subconscious and a Hypnotherapist/Energy Medicine Practitioner (combination-look it up for your area) can help you retrieve it and clear it up.
The only person that I know in the States-I'm from Canada- that can give more info on this is Marilyn Gordon . Check out her website. She's very good.
Complex stuff but very interesting ( not the pain part).
On a different note in regards to your work. Look into oil pulling (with Coconut oil).
If you're not familiar with this, you will amazed. (My Dental health has never been so good)
Hopefully this helps.
Post again with update or if you have any questions.
I usually post in the Allergy and Mental Health chat sections.
Blessings,
