Wow you're so quick to judge before finding out why the OP hands hurt. I kind of thought they might have arthritis , I had a lot of clients that could not button their clothes because their hands hurt so much .

My daughter's had arthritis since she was 12, and some days she can hardly get out of bed. It can be debilitating.
 
I have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and it's a pain sometimes to sign. However, I do keep a brace nearby, and if the pain is bad enough, I'll sleep through the night with it (I could make do without the mark it leaves when I wake up), and the next morning it'll be stable enough to use. I also keep Extra Strength Tylenol nearby for additional support, but I only take it if it becomea unberable.

7 Ingredients to Ease Arthritis Pain


I had a client who ate ginger snap cookies for arthritis . I knew one person that could not eat wheat as it bad his arthritis worst. That is real too bad about your daughter . My client would get wash clothes and roll them up and put them in her hands at bed time. She likes a warm shower before going
to bed too. I had to help her get ready for bed and it so sad to see how much pain she was in.

:doh: I was not being snarky, I was literally saying I hope it's not a lasting problem for them. :doh:
 
Maybe when I move here in a few weeks to a very urban area, I might be able to use ASL for once with someone, but my right hand hurts because I had a bit of a breakdown and punched my keyboard repeatedly. Hope you find out why your hand hurts.

This. Arthritis or not, learning a new way to move your fingers will initially hurt. I was told this when I began playing piano. It was tiring initially, but as the muscles got exerted more and more, I could practice for longer and longer periods of time without feeling the strain. Eventually, I could play piano for an entire day without my hands being sore.

Same thing happened with fingerspelling; now, I sometimes practice fingerspelling for hours at a time and my hands don't hurt anymore.
