my hands hurt all the time. can someone help me find out why?

I've heard it described as "texter's" or "gamer's" thumb, or it could be from "mousing" as previously suggested. Try easing up on those type of activities and use contrast therapy alternating between ice and heat. Search the net for how to do it effectively. I'm not a big fan of wrist braces or supports although they can be beneficial. Look at some of the images found at this link for stretching suggestions. Start slowly and gently and perform only as your discomfort permits.

Ok, this is what you have to do to further the potential of a diagnosis. Go see a doctor, pay him money and he will tell you what is wrong with your hand. After that, you will know what is wrong with your hand and the diagnosis is complete. Seriously people, come on!!

Do you use a keyboard and mouse all day, if so, it could be repetitive strain injury (RSI). You could try wearing wrist supports as this might help

It could be a vitamin D deficiency.
