I have erosive arthritis in my hands. I've had it for decades. I saw a hand specialist surgeon and various other arthritis doctors of all stripes (OA to RA and in between) over 3 decades. Doc said he could take my painful swelled hand/wrist off, but he couldn't put it back on! (his form of joke!) I have arthritis EVERYWHERE in my hand. I'm going to skip to the end of the story - MY PAIN came from gout! From high uric acid level in a simple blood test (after 30 years). I've done ALL the arthritis tests... except, evidently, THAT ONE. Because the docs look at xrays LOADED with almost 30 years of arthritis. Last fall, someone here said try "tart cherry capsules." I did. It solved the problem. No more swelling, no more pain, no more waking at night with my hands locked shut. So simple. So easy. So late. But hey...try it. And message me if it works for you too. Only $20 to blow. I asked to go on the medication after 3 months. It worked even better for me. (Allopurinol.) I've come to the conclusion that OA doesn't in and of itself cause pain. So I keep on searching when I get pain. Pain isn't natural and it isn't healthy.
