Rosetree, I suspect you are suffering from Renaud's Disease, which is not uncommon for individuals that perform many repetitive motions. There are tests for this, but the tests are quite uncomfortable. One utilizes the placement of your hands in a bucket of ice-water for five minutes, then measuring the nerve conduction of your hands. The other involves the insertion of a very thin needle into the muscle, then firing an electrical impulse through the needle and measuring the transmission of the stimuli with attached electrodes. Your doctor can provide you with the details and where to go to have the test performed.
Good luck,
Gary
Thank you for your hint, Gary. However, if you are referring to this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raynaud%27s_phenomenon
I think it doesn't fit, as I never have any symptoms of lacking blood circulation or pale looking fingers, and none of the orthopedists and doctors I've consulted ever referred to this syndrome.
I've obtained some tips I haven't tried out yet, most of them recommend consulting an osteopath instead of an orthopedist.
