Therapy for Hands
Posted , 8 users are following.
Anyone care to tell what their favorite relief is for tired achey hands? Could be for any joints but I often feel that I've overworked my hands working around the house and on those days I find myself trying to relax and I don't know what to do. I sit and knead one with the other, but that only tires them more. Stretching exercises?
Short of a hand massage what's your favorite self therapy?
Heat? Cold? Lotions?
Holding my phone certainly isn't helping either!
Love to hear from you- an internet search has too much blather and I'm sure some of us dealing with this stupid disease have good ideas you could share.
Thanks for listening and sharing your experience.

Thank you EVERYONE!
?I'm going to make a list of all your responses to go into my " I'm in pain-I don't know what I did- but what do I do now book" that I can refer to.
?I'm sure we all used to do tasks without thinking about them but shy away because we know we'll pay for it. (if only our friends understood) Sometimes I know what's going to happen but do it anyway and sometimes the pain is a mystery! I'm sure you know.
?Thanks for the constant support by all of you who understand me. Unfortunately, there's too many, but again, thank you!

Sometimes my thoughts don't come out very well.,,,
?There's way too many... of us, I meant say! Us- that have to deal with RA.
?And often it's only us that really understand each other's day to day pain and limitations. But I thank God it's only RA. Some have a much more difficult situation. Even some of you that deal with RA plus other stuff on top of it!
?I'm blessed with meds that work for me and friends that understand me.
?For that I say thanks to all of you.

A better day ahead
