My question:
Is it normal using cutlery always hurts? Every single time I use knife, fork of spoon for anything else but scooping something soft, it hurts. It’s been like this my entire life. Are people really in pain every time they eat without anyone speaking of it???
So, from the comments, you’re describing situations where using eating utensils where you need to apply pressure hurts your hands, yeah?
As an experiment, wrap the handle of an eating utensil in a cloth (small wash cloth, handkerchief, clean sock, etc) and tie/tape it so it won’t come unrapped. Use it when eating something that needs to be cut up. Does it still hurt your hand(s) to hold, grip, apply pressure with the utensil(s)?
Could be something arthritis related (as other comments have mentioned). There might be hand exercises that could increase the muscles in the hands to try to compensate for the weakness caused by the arthritis in the joints, maybe.
Do you take any medications that might cause joint inflammation?
Yes.
I appreciate good intentions, but people Dr Hausing isn’t helping me. I don’t have access to adequate healthcare.
True…but I’ve messed up my hands a few times before and found myself having issues using utensils, until my joints/bones recovered I found it a bit easier/less painful to make a larger handle from cardboard or wash cloths.
No medications required.
