Burning hands?!

Ok, so I'm not really sure what to mane of this, but all of a sudden my hand is on fire, and I have not touched or handled anything different then usual. At first it was a slight sting on my pinky, but has quickly turned into an extremely painful burn in half of my hand. It feels like an extremely bad sunburn, and is gradually getting worse. Even as I write this the burning is starting in the other hand. I tried an ice pack thinking it might be my hands swelling, but they look the same as usual, and it did not help. I washed my hands a couple times thinking something might have gotten on them, but nothing is helping, and I really don't know what to make of this. It's literally driving me nuts! Anybody else ever have this problem, or might know what it could be? Any suggestions are highly appreciated!

Turns out it is a pinched nerve, and I have to wear double wrist braces. Just another little joy of pregnancy that nobody tells you about. Apparently it's a normal thing, which ***** because this is just straight torture

Similar thing happened to be but I also got a rash with it. Dr said it was just how my body is reacting to the changing of hormones. I slept with a cold wet washcloth wrapped around my hands just so I could manage sleeping through the pains. Started around 19 weeks.

Yes that happened to me around 22-25 weeks. It was horrible!! Started off the same way as u with a light tingling in one finger then it increased to burning as the days went by. I never got to mention it to my doctor since it only lasted about 2 weeks but I'm guessing it had to do with blood circulation
