Arthritis in shooting hand

[Handi204]

Tiger Balm works on my shoulders at night. It was recommended by my family doctor.

Voltaren Gel is an NSAID which is absorbed through the skin.
I tried it for a couple weeks, and it effected my stomach, and I had to quit.

The best thing that works for my arthritis is CELEBREX as prescribed by my Doc.

Anyone have this going on ,my wrist is killing me. What is good for arthritis ?

Advil, .. I had to have my wrist fused. Still hurts once in a while. 4 -5 Advil usually do the trick.. Go see an ortho doc.

Thats my next step

It's really hard to find a good arthritis doctor. My wife has suffered from arthritis in most of her joints for years; hands, wrists, shoulders ankles and more. We went through 5 or 6 "specialists" that were basically useless before finally finding one who could really help. He gave her aggressive treatment that works very well, using a drug called "Enbrel". Sadly, though it's very effective it's also really expensive so I hope you have good insurance. If you have a family doctor you really trust, I'd suggest you ask him for a referral to a good specialist. If you end up with one who doesn't seem to be helping much, don't stay with him too long. Shop around and ask people you know who have had similar problems and got effective help for their recommendations. In our experience good arthritis docs are scarcer than good chiropractors. I have no doubt that if we'd stuck with her first one (or any of the first several, for that matter) she'd be bedridden now. Good luck!

Not tried CBD oil yet want to.

I have had arthritis in my right hand since middle school. I am 48 now.

I used to have to run my hands under hot water in the bathroom before band concerts when my arthritis would be acting up.

DMSO just make sure you hands are clean before you put it on. After about 15 minutes wash hands to rinse it off.

For hands I like the creme version.

What stops me is that CBD is like the wild west you never know what your getting! A lot of it is loaded with pesticides.

I have a knee and shoulder problem. Getting old is a Bi*ch.
When to Dr. after trying to tough it out. He gave me a cortisone shot. It's a magic drug.

Those shots do make you feel better, but I would take a look at their long term affects on joints.

CBD oil has been a miracle worker for me. Bad shoulder and arthritis in several fingers. I take 600mg of ibuprofen at bed time. More to manage inflammation/catch in my hip than anything else.
Anyone wanting info on what I use PM me for details.

My wife also uses the CBD stuff, but she gets the stuff with THC in it. It's kind of like imperial sizing wax in texture. Works much better. A little spendy, but worth the relief. Yea, Yea, I know it's not legal everywhere but she get relief so I really don't care.

Speaking of CBD, my sister in law gave me a small jar of Prana Nectar Balm to use on my recent knee replacement. It takes edge off the discomfort at night. Also it works wonders on my magnum bunion and hammer toe. I think it would work on an arthritic wrist. Use a really thin application and rub it in. Before having the surgery I was using Cunol brand turmeric, l believe that stuff works on the inflammation. You have to be careful of using too much ibuprofen. My $.02
