Hi, Tina.
I'm so sorry that Ron is still having these awful problems - it must seem like there's no end to this for you both... I'm sorry to hear about the pain in your fingers, too. Arthritis is a very frustrating condition; not only is there the pain to deal with but it prevents you from doing many things you used to take for granted and enjoy. I find that if I rub lots of moisturising cream into my fingers, then put on some cotton gloves and cuddle a hot water bottle, it does help with the arthritis pain in my fingers. It's not a cure, but it does provide some very welcome relief when the pain is bad.
Cold and damp seem to be the worst culprits; my pain levels sank to virtually zero while we were away, but they've come back with a vengeance this morning.
Sending you and Ron big hugs, and I hope things get better for you soon xx
