Osteo-arthritis in hands
I have Osteo-arthritis in both hands, but much worse/further on in the right. Most joints are swollen and very tender to the touch, some fingers are distorted and movement can be stiff/restricted when cold/tired.
I have been offered hot paraffin-wax treatment by the physioterrorists and if this helps I'll probably invest in a wax heater/wax for home use. I also use re-useable hot-packs at home to relieve the pain in my joints. The physio has also suggested an exercise program for my hands/fingers.
Does anyone here have similar symptoms/suggest any other treatments which may help?
Thanks
