Hand massage for arthritis

I massage in cannabis ointment which I find does help.

I started hand massage twice a day after reading original post. What a difference! Who knew? And it means I am also taking TIME to put my handcream on properly..so improved mobility, pain relief and appearence.
Thank you!

I use one of these hand heaters www.neu-planet.com
My hands were beginning to show signs of arthritis, pain in the joints and swelling. I used the massager regularly in the evening for 15 minutes a hand while watching football on the tv! Improvement was almost immediate and had been sustained (5 months later)

I’ll check out my BP ShySal as I do take BP tablets.

I’m not into cooking Meryl so I’m afraid it will be the tablets, but thanks anyway.

Parsley I will get the muscle balm ?

I’ve found online YouTube an excellent 5 minute hand massage and my fingers are moving better.

If possible, always buy the fresh turmeric root.

I don't know whether you take blood pressure medication, but turmeric can lower the BP, which may need monitoring if taken in conjunction.

I have found Holland &Barrett’s CBD muscle balm gives me enough relief from my sore thumbs to start knitting again. I rub it in while I am watching the telly.

Thanks both. Just started Turmeric. I will check out the gel eggs. ?

I’ve heard that those hot wax things that you can soak your hands in are good. I was given several exercises to do by the hospital ( note to self, start doing them again). Keep my hands warm. Wear protective gloves for gardening etc. and cycling gloves at the gym (or used to when I used to go).Take turmeric. Put E45 on my hands at night cause I think VitE is good. I sleep with a hot water bottle that I keep my hand on.

I have a set of differing resistance gel eggs which I find helpful, from Amazon. I sometimes carry them with me when out for a walk to make sure I find time to do the exercises which came with them. There are specific You Tube videos to help too.
I hope you find some relief.
