Topical creams for arthritis

Turmeric is supposed to have anti inflammatory properties.
Perhaps a cream of that kind might help?

I ve been using Turmeric massage oil and it makes no difference at all Nor do Voltetol, deep heat, ibrufen or tiger balm 🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh, thats a shame.
I usually look at amazon reviews of things and try to decide that way.

I won't be getting ay turmeric then.

I thought you were supposed to consume the turmeric?

Yes, you can make it into a drink, but I'm pretty sure someone has capitalised on it, and turned it into cream.

There are turmeric oils that you can rub on but I’d be wary of that given the way that it stains so badly. I’ve always favoured Voltarol. I do take turmeric with black pepper and coconut oil in milk but never know if it helps as I’m a bit inconsistent with it. I find exercises are the most helpful thing with my thumb joint but sometimes I can hardly move my fingers and at other times they’re ok. I do put Voltarol on them at night sometimes but have to be careful that the dog doesn’t lick them.
