Arthritic hands

I've heard that about the cinnamon, it is supposed to be good. And I was told by the Dr that tomato products have a lot of acid and it will make your joints ache.
Oh and I was told recently by my mother that Tylenol and Naproxin aren't good for the liver. Sorry if I steared anyone wrong. I live and learn as well!

I've read also that ginger is good for the inflammation that causes arthritis (among other things). The ancient Romans used it, and Europeans are still using it. Only we seem to have forgotten. Martha Stewart one time recommended taking a 2" piece of ginger, peeling it, slicing it into a small pot of water and boiling it. Then add honey and lemon, if you like, and enjoy. It also calms the queasy stomach. At Hong Kong Market here, I get some soft ginger candies to eat after I've eaten out. They really work.

I don't know if it is arthritis or what but I have quite a bit of thumb pain. I have found some relief from doing these exercises:

I think it is interesting that proper hydration is an important factor here too.

If these excersises can help some, I would say...go for it!!! Look after your hands to keep them pain-free as long as you can.

My new problem is that my fingers are now becoming very deformed. That top knuckle is huge now and the fingertip bends down now. It is getting very hard and painful to do any sewing :(

be careful with any aspirin or ibuprofin -- It thins blood and can affect the veins in your eyes. After cataract surgery I got a couple post op problems. I have a bit of arthritis also and was taking an ibuprofin. I ended up with a bloodied eye. A call to the eye doc set me straight.
My ortho doc suggested glucosamine and chondroitin might help and it did.
I now read all about side effects on line before I take any OTC stuff. I found out that Vitamin D can cause diahrrea -- so I had to stop the calcium with vit.D -- no more runs !!
I learn so much on this group!! -- Mim
