Serious Symptoms Of Fabry's Disease

Pain And Burning In Hands

The pain and burning in the hands associated with Fabry's disease typically comes and goes in episodes. Patients may have more pain during or immediately after exercise, and the pain might increase during hot weather. Colds, fevers, other mild illnesses, and general fatigue may also intensify this pain. Some patients might have pain in both their hands and feet. To reduce pain and stinging, home treatments such as ice packs, warm compresses, and topical pain relievers may be beneficial. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen could be effective for some individuals, and doctors may choose to prescribe stronger pain relievers if necessary. Occasionally, patients may benefit from taking prescriptions designed to treat neuropathy, as these medications can reduce burning, tingling, and numb sensations in the extremities.
