    • You start to feel unusual pain and stiffness in your joints. Look for swelling of the wrists, knuckles or small joints of the fingers or toes, including the ball of the foot.
    • You feel pain and stiffness in the morning, typically lasting more than 30-60 minutes before you "loosen up" and start feeling better.
    • Some people notice that they feel more tired when RA starts. Some will occasionally lose weight or develop a low-grade fever.

    Definitely go see a doctor.

    There is possibility that you may have to change occupations, going into a different position, as in the office or dispatch. Constant driving can easily aggravate serious medical conditions.

    Your doctor, along with a company doctor or D.O.T. certified physician would be the best judges of this situation.

    Stress,
    fear,
    anxiety.........?

    Loosen your grip a little.

    Learn hand/wrist exercises.

    I started having wrist pain. To the point it was getting painful to hold wheel. I would change from over hand to under hand , bottom of wheel. My truck needed alignment. Took to shop. It needed king pins. After work was done. Truck rides nice again, not finghting wheel as it always pulled a little to the right.
    NO more pain in wrist.
    Maybe you don't need a doc but a mechanic. Good luck.
