Something that has helped

After a lot of discomfort daily and not much relief I have found something that gives instant relief for hem's so want to share in case it helps others pain wise. Teabags! Run a teabag under the cold tap then leave it on the the painful area and lie down a little while. Literally so thankful I found this.

    Please ignore previous attempt at a reply, my iPad went mad and I could not delete post.

    Thank you for sharing the tip but could you please tell me what sort of tea bag you used, e.g. Ordinary english tea, peppermint tea. etc.

    Take care of yourself and thanks again.

      Just English breakfast tea but I'm sure any tea bag would do the same if not maybe even better results
