Hand and wrist pain????

Question

My wrists and fingers hurt whenever I pick something up in a way that my wrist is turned sideways.  Like a plate, a coffe cup, coffee pot, etc.

I also wake up in the middle of the night with my hands numb.  When I wake up, I always have my wrists bent and folded up under me.  My elbows hurt when I lean on them as well.

Does this sound like Carpel Tunnel or Osteoarthritis?

I've been in the retail industry for about 20 years and I experience the same thing. It sounds like carpel tunnel syndrome to me.
If it keeps persisting, you should make a Dr.'s appt.

It definitely sounds like Carpel Tunnel. I had to go through a series of electrical tests, kind of like mini shocks to see if I had it. I was having your experiences and I do have it. Run it past your doctor. I bought a wrist brace. The other option is surgery, however I know people that have had the surgery and had to have it re-done. Best of luck.

Tendinitis (carpel tunnel syndrome)- I had that about 7yrs ago. 
Every movement no matter how slight was torture then (considering that my threshold for pain is high). Usually caused by repetitive wrist movements. 
Had day-surgery done then and have had no problems so far.
Have a doctor look into it. Take care!
Edit: Oops! ...More like 10 yrs ago, rather...Sorry:)

I don't know much but a quick temporary relief for the pain would be to massage your arm if its the wrists that feels the pain. Try it.
