I Have Severe Arthritis In Both Hands(finger Joints) What Do I Use?
I can hardly pick up a cup such is the pain.
I use voltaren and this does not work
Please what can i use?
I am going to apologize ahead of time and say essential oils are a placebo effect concurs most doctors MDs in Rheumatology. If you have Rheumatoid Arthritis then I suggest you follow up with your rheumatologist Les. Are you on any treatment plan for RA? I hope so you do not want to mess around with an autoimmune disease! Osteoarthritis is different disease. You still could try an anti inflammatory over the counter like naproxen generic. Take as directed. Use ice packs or heating pad. Or you can get Mobic, Lodine or Celebrex
My hands are pretty bad. Every joint plus my fingers are bending to the side. I used hot wax to soothe them but no luck.
I saw an advertisement for essential oils. Read the benefits and ordered Helichrysum. It is really helping me on my hands. They hurt a lot. Thumbs and knuckle are worse. I got the roll on. Just carry it in my purse and roll it on when I need it. It’s all natural plant extracts. I never knew anything about essential oils but I’m studying them now. Lol the company I ordered from is Vitality extracts which is what popped up but there are tons of other companies. They just popped up on my Facebook one day. The Helichrysum is not too costly and they have sales & coupons a lot. I’d recommend this to everyone. It’s good for anywhere not just hands.
Les I have had good luck lately with THC salve. Hope you can get it- good luck. And are you taking RA drugs? that's first.
I use CBD cream, paraffin wax soaks, frequent massage and adjustment. I also take Vicodin. I have to wait 6 months to go back on RA meds. I take a little Prednisone also.
I'm sorry you're dealing with what I call "ghost" hands. It's like my hands go right through anything I'm trying to pick up.
