The best description of the feeling is like....When you "Jam" a finger....like getting Basketball off the tip of a finger wrong....suddenly feels swollen but my not be..., hot, tingly, hypersensitive and numb at the same time. Now, my whole hands feel this way...not just a finger. And at times the intensity of this jammed finger feeling is 2 or 3 times that of just a jammed finger. Best "picture" I can paint here.
