Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. A massage sounds wonderful but I’m concerned that the pressure may cause pain itself. I have tried soaking in my jacuzzi tub and it brings relief although it’s been a struggle lately getting in and out. I use Voltaren gel on my hands and it is nice for a little bit. Today I woke up with painful spasms in my legs. I put my heating pad under my calves and wrapped up in a blanket, took a Tramadol and waited for it to kick in. I thank God for my sweet husband and the things that bring a little bit of relief.

Just a suggestion: I was told by the pain clinic to apply the Volatren Gel on my hands 4 times a day and to apply it liberally. I know about the struggle of getting out the tub...whew, these arthritic knees. You are a blessed woman to have your husband to help take care of you...I do too! Sending up prayers for you today.

I hear you about the massage. I think it still helps, but it's no longer a pleasant experience. It hurts. 😔
