How long to symptoms last?

Hi. My fingers have been numb and painful for over two months now. My thumb and pointer finger are fine but the other three and my palm are affected. They can get quite swollen and painful and I tend to drop things a lot. It sucks because I work from home and need to type for about seven hours a day so by the end of the day, I am frustrated as it’s hard to type with numb fingers and I’m in so much pain. How long do flareup symptoms last. I’m starting to worry that this is the new normal for me because my numb toes and legs only lasted about six weeks and then went back to normal but my fingers and hands are just as bad as they were on day one. Any advice appreciated :)

Can’t help with how long a flare up will last but wanted to offer suggestion for the typing. There is software you can get that will type what you’re saying (in fact you can dictate (remembered the word!) into an iPhone). Not sure if u work for a company but if you have an IT department they might be able to help. Xx

Im only newly diagnosed (diagnosed in august) but its taken 5 months for one of my fingers snd thumb to go back to normal, like yourself the rest of my arm and hand took about 6 weeks to get back, it was just these that took longer x
