Yes, very much so. my thumb joints (arthritis) and my wrists are the worst. My other fingers are stiff and not nimble any more. Warm compresses and a muscle/joint topical analgesic rub help to a degree as does a hand massage. I also have carpal tunnel, so I get the whole fingers go numb thing, especially if my neck and shoulders are bad (this makes the CT worse for me and lets me know I need a massage in the shoulder and neck area to realign and get the nerves to decompress in the arms).

Yes,first thing in the morning.
I use magnesium topical spray for that, very effective. Can be purchased in pharmacy or health food store.

The benefits get from the spray is as follows,
In the morning when I wake I am unable to bend my fingers or make a fist. The feel fat swollen and painful.
I can honestly say,, hand on heart that after 1_2 mind after applying I can make a fist and pain is greatly reduced. I also put on other soft tissue areas such as feet, elbows, arms and shoulder joint with the same effect.
About two weeks after using it I bumped into a colleague who has neuropathy from diabetes.
She told me she had Ben using the spray for over a year with good results.
I know it's available in the states under the name FibroFlex and it's around $36 per 100ML.
I buy in a health food store for €15/$17, under the name of Magnesium Oil Spray.
Hope this is helpful.

Yes, I do too. Very painful and uncomfortable. I'm going back to my doctor soon to discuss this. I think it might be the start of arthritis as my fingers are changing shape/position. Love and hugs. :)

Yes but I have spondyloarthropathy xx
