@johnbishop, @sueinmn, and all...you are both wonderful. Thanks, John for the link to @colleenyoung and Sue, I love your braces. I have them both! They get me through, help with driving a lot, sometimes I wear them both or one on my right hand in my sleep. They help me greatly. I used to use Voltaren often and will start again tonight. Seems at times I need a reminder of what helps. I don't know how you make it through the harsh winter months. Cold is such an enemy of my hands and joints and I suppose all of me. I can't touch ice with my fingers. It is so painful and burns. I can only imagine what snow and ice would do to me.

I'm off to bed after slathering on some Voltaren and putting on my braces. In particular, the one on the right in your picture, as it has strong thumb support that helps my wrist as well. Right now, the thumbs are acting up and my wrists are much worse and painful. My right wrist and up the arm has something going on with sharp, electric pain. May be from my right shoulder, nerve, not sure, but may have to get it ck'd. don't want to...we'll see.

Goodnight, special folks. Blessings and be well. elizabeth
