Hello struggling with hands

Hi👋 I have arthritis in a few places but at the moment my hands have really flared up. Any useful tips for helping with the pain or gloves that may help? Thanks in advance xx

Hello @Julieopenshaw1964 and welcome to the Community. We are a friendly and supportive group and I hope that will be your experience as well.

I see that you have arthritis in your hands which is something I can relate to. I find that wearing compression gloves can help and also gentle exercise with something like a stress ball. Also you could try and get Capsaicin cream on prescription which provides temporary relief.
