Hello @babe

Welcome to our forum.

As CCM says if you tell us a little bit more about yourself/your Arthritis we can definitely share ideas and tips to help each other.

I have arthritis in my knees and fingers but it’s not as bad in fingers , it’s very painful in my knees.

Hi @babe

Welcome to the online community, it's lovely to have you here.

So your arthritis is worst in your knees and fingers, do you have a diagnosis yet?

Here is a link to help for hands and wrists

https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/conditions/hand-and-wrist-pain/

My wrist and fingers have struggled simce I've been doing more typing, I like heat for mine, I have a hot microwave bottle which is very comforting. I am also making sure I sit properly and have a rest for my wrists when I'm typing.

Knee pain is very common, lots of us here can relate to that - if you have any specific questions I'm sure between us we can help. In the mean time here is what we have on knee pain in general

I'm looking forward to your next post

Take care
