I get that from RA. My hands have gotten deformed and I wear clumsy braces on them at night to try to keep them from contracting more. The one thing I’ve found that really helps me is a 70/30 solution of DMSO/distilled water at night which stings/itches for 15 min or so. Rubbing my hands lightly together until they dry helps. Am I allowed to post about this? I’m new in the group.

@carijane Welcome to the group, i don't think there are too many places or subjects that are not found somewhere here in the Mayo Connect. hello and i am randy. you might check into essential oils or talk with someone that uses them. my daughter fixes me a rub in oil for my trigger finger and it takes 3 times a day to put it on. after a couple of days i can tell the oil is working because i can open the hand and the pain is almost gone. ive been told you can get needle treatments but the oil keeps me away from the injections. she has another just for my aches and pains. feel free to message me. my daughters out till tomorrow.
