Members shared their experiences with daily hand and foot stiffness, with many describing morning stiffness as particularly severe, along with swelling, burning sensations, weakness, and reduced grip strength that significantly impacts daily activities. Several members discussed strategies that provide partial relief, including warm water soaks to restore feeling, medications like Savella (though results varied), and in one case, carpal tunnel surgery that helped for years before symptoms returned due to continued computer use. A recurring theme was the frustration of trying to identify triggers like humidity, overuse, or specific activities, while acknowledging that stiffness and pain often persist regardless of these factors.
