Coping with arthritis pain at night

Hi @grannydee, have you ever tried heat to relieve your pain? I have an infrared heating pad and it does give relief when I'm using it and for some time thereafter. I have osteoarthritis of the shoulder and some rotator cuff tears. The heating pad comes with instructions not to sleep on it though. If heat provides you with relief, maybe there's a heated mattress pad somewhere. I've also read that weighted blankets help with sleep. Maybe you could find some relief along those lines.

I do use a heating pad…but I’ve not tried a weighted blanket.
That seems easy enough to give it a try.
Thanks, you never know!
I’m going to give it a shot!!!
