The parafin baths are wonderful. Our Walgreens used to have them but haven't seen any for a while. Probably Bed, bath and beyond would. Aspercream helps too. Exercising with the rubber balls/hearts that are available helps -- I keep them on the sewing table by my chair and use them at night. Strengthening the muscles will help relieve pressure on the joints (so my dr says!)
Does anyone know where you can buy those big chunks of paraffin that used to be sold with the parafin tubs?
We always just used canning paraffin wax from the canning section at walmart (as it's cheap) and a crock pot to melt it in.
