Hello All:
I'm seventy-Six and looking for relief of pain in my knuckles and finger joints.
It all started around 7 months ago with the onset of "Trigger finger". First left hand, then right, with it progressing from first finger knuckle, down finger to second joint, and that's where it is at presently. The fingers curl up and I must painfully straighten each out before any "grasping" activity.
Now I do appreciate that this is "not unbearable" and many people have REAL problems. I was moving towards "acceptance" when it entered my mind there may be something "off shelves" that will give some relief. Oh yea, life style and climate contribute I'm sure.
Warm water helps....
And I do believe that foods influence "arthritis" but keep forgetting which, and eat those that contribute as they are offered to me. Yum!
Anywho.... who also suffers this ailment and how do they deal with it.
Thanks in advance.
P.S.
Now I've gone "on line" and there is lot's of valuable information...., but I'm looking for people who have "done" something and have experience.
