How to Relieve Hand Arthritis Pain in 30 SECONDS
Cold: Use a cold compress or ice pack wrapped in a towel to reduce inflammation and swelling, particularly after activities that aggravate your hands.
Supplements (consult your doctor before starting):
Fish oil: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties.
Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate: May help rebuild cartilage and reduce pain.
Lifestyle Changes:
Hand exercises: Gentle exercises can improve flexibility and range of motion in your hands.
Rest: Avoid overuse of your hands and take breaks during activities.
Maintain a healthy weight: Excess weight puts stress on your joints.
Supportive splints: Wearing splints at night or during rest periods can help immobilize and protect your joints.
Other Natural Remedies:
Topical creams: Look for creams containing capsaicin (from chili peppers) which can provide temporary pain relief.
Massage: Gentle massage can improve circulation and reduce stiffness.
Important Note: While these approaches may provide relief, it’s important to consult a doctor for diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan. They can advise on the best course of action for your specific condition.
