There is an exercise ball you hold and squeeze. It’s like playdougb and there are three different strengths. My deteriorating handwriting is due to into arthritis in my left hand (my writing hand). The key is to NOT stressing the joints but USING them to maintain strength and dexterity. I liked the game mentioned with the skittles. I’ll have to try!

Good morning, @loriesco

What you say is so true, or it has been true for me:

"The key is to NOT stressing the joints but USING them to maintain strength and dexterity."

I have arthritis in several of my joints; the most troublesome are my ankles, hips, and left knee. In the morning, they are real attention-getters. 🙂 What I've discovered (again, I should say, this may not be true for everyone) the sooner I get moving and the more I move, the sooner these joints will quiet down and let me get on with my day. In my book, arthritic pain that refuses to give me a break is more due to under-use than over-use.

Here's wishing you a good day!
