Thank you for your reply. I will know more once I visit the Specialist Sept. 17th. See where I go from there. Being a CNA, a bit hard to take it easy haha but I try. Also only being 49 and have two grandbabies, 3 and 1, I'd like to figure out all natural ways to help prior to popping pills. It's a bit scary to think of what the future holds. I do yoga, hand exercises I've seen on line with to try and get ahead but unsure if I am making it worse or not. Baffled.

Mild exercises will help - will preserve range of motion, and sometimes actually help with pain. I have been trying for 40 years to find a "natural" way to manage arthritis, but options are limited.
Let me know what the doc says.
PS I have two "littles" and have taught them to climb up in my lap for cuddles, etc. instead of lifting with my very bad hands. Doesn't always work, but helps some.
