Arthritis

Does anyone suffer from any type of arthritis or hand pain of any sort?

My hands are in pain a lot. When I do things like scrape the snow off my car, vacuum my stairs, cut chicken, type too long, to just name a few. I went to my family doctor, had blood taken and x-rays on both hands. My Rheumatoid factor was up, so I needed to see a specialist.

After waiting in a cold waiting room, half naked in a hospital gown, and listening to the doctor flirt with a drug rep for 30 minutes, he finally entered. He asked his questions and did a exam on my hands and feet. Five minutes later, I was diagnosed with "Overuse Syndrome"......what?
Is that what they call hand pain when they can't figure anything else out? Has anyone ever been diagnosed with such a diagnosis?

So my secret here is be happy that it wasn't Rheumatoid arthritis.
