SOUNDS LIKE IT MAY BE NORMAL TO ME... YOUR HAND HAS BEEN THROUGH SOME TRAMA... GO TO DR. EATON'S WEB SITE.... HE HAS A TON OF INFO THERE. WWW.HANDCENTER.COM....MY HANDS SOMETIMES ACHE SOMETIMES DON'T... DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH I USE THEM....GARDENING , ETC. GOOD LUCK....KEEP YOUR BRACE ON AT NIGHT....I KNOW WHEN I FIRST STARTED USING BRACE MY HANDS ACHED A LITTLE......THEN I DIDN'T WEAR IT FOR 2 WEEKS..I HAVE NOW PUT IT BACK ON AND WILL LEAVE IT ON...AS I CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE....IT SEEMS LIKE TO OLD TISSUE WANTS TO PULL FINGER BACK DOWN IF BRACE IS NOT WORN... SO, I WILL JUST HAVE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AND RE TRAIN MY HAND.....

I had NA from Dr. Eaton in February. I also had the same reaction in my hand. Even though I was doing my hand exercise (opening and closing a fist), it felt like it was pulling. And my palm was itching like mad. I emailed Dr. E's office and was told this was normal. I continued to open and close my fist and in time the pain and pulling sensation has ceased. My fingers are still straight and no pain or sensation at all.
