Toucan, when I went thru chemo, my hands did the same thing. It was sometimes inconvenient but I would submerse them in hot water and let them soak. If not water I put hot water in a hot water bottle and laid them across my hands.FOr some reason the warmth eased the nerves and such and stopped the pain. I also went to walmart and got the cheapest kind of heat therapy patches and cut them to fit on the top wrist/hand and they worked too. YOu can wear them out too. Hope this helps. ((((((HUGS))))))))0
