[QUOTE="lizdeluz, post: 643611, member: 32108"] Sorry to hear that you've got pain in your hands. Arthritis is a complicated condition and I don't know diddly squat about it, but... I get lots of pain in my hands these days, especially in the joints below my thumbs. I wouldn't say I cope with it, but it's down the pecking order in comparison with arthritic knees and frozen shoulders. I do crochet every day when listening to radio or watching tv - if it's something where I don't have to look at the screen 100%. I think this might help to keep the finger joints active, but that's not the reason I do it.:D I make a bottle of oil for massage - pure almond oil with about 8 to 12 drops, in total, of, say, lavender, rosemary, juniper, rose, cinnamon leaf, mandarin, or lemon essential oils, or a mixture, and massage my hands daily. You can just rub the oil in, or you can follow a hand massage tutorial on YouTube if you want. This may help with inflammation of the joints and help to keep them moving. I'm sure that many people will think, "La, la, la, .....!" And I don't blame them, but I do know from experience that massage and massage oil protect skin health and aid relaxation of joints. I also massage oil in to skin after a shower. A little goes a long way, and essential oils in minute quantities (always very well diluted with oil) really help to protect the skin. Plus, it's a little bit of self-care, which never goes amiss. I hope the pain settles down and goes away. ;):( [/QUOTE]
