Hello! I’m a 60 year old female and I have Heberden’s Nodes. They have been steadily getting worse in recent months. They are painful, especially if I accidentally knock them on something. I’m finding it harder to fasten buttons, open bottles and cans, squeeze tubes and do activities like sewing. I’m looking for tips on how to manage my condition (hand exercises perhaps?) and how to avoid damaging my hands any further. I’d also appreciate any advice on useful devices to help with daily activities. Thank you in advance for any thoughts that might help preserve my hands and help them function better!
