Anyone having unexplained wrist and hand pain from Applewatch?

Has anyone been experiencing any hand, wrist or arm problems from wearing their Applewatch?

I have been having issues with pain and swelling in my wrist and hand for quite awhile and haven’t gotten any answers as to why this is happening.

I have decided to leave my watch off for a week or two and see if there is any improvement in how I am feeling.

One reason I am concerned it could be from my watch is that after two or three years of getting tested for many things nothing has come up positive.

Then just 3 days ago I woke up in the night with my wrist and hand hurting really badly and it was feeling like pins and needles along with it.

I had to get some ice and hold it on my hand for quite awhile before the pain from the swelling went down enough for me to go back to sleep.

I was afraid I was having a heart attack or something. But luckily that pins and needles feeling with the painful swelling hasn’t happened again but I am still having severe pain in my wrist and hand.

Anyone else have any thing like this happen to them?

I will try and update this post in a week or so.

Thank you
