I read here on the QB several years ago about Two Old Goats lotion. It was created by a quilter. I got some as a "joke" for my MIL for Christmas, not really knowing if it would help her arthritis, and it did! I'use it and I've shared this with a number of people and most have good luck with it. Not saying it will work for everyone, but you might want to give it a try. You can find it online and our Ace Hardware stores are now carrying it.
