Members responded warmly to a question about paraffin wax for hand pain relief, with several sharing positive experiences from physical therapy and occupational therapy appointments, describing it as soothing and spa-like, though most noted the relief lasted only a few hours. Beyond paraffin wax, members swapped ideas about other hand pain solutions including compression gloves, heated mittens, ice pack gloves, hand braces, and spandex fingerless gloves, with mixed results and honest updates shared along the way. A recurring theme was the emotional and financial exhaustion of constantly searching for relief, met with plenty of community warmth and encouragement.

Yes I have at OT. Fabulous for a few hours after. But not a long benefit. But it’s like taking your sands to the spa❤️

It’s something I can get done at PT. I am in a Catch 22 situation right now. My insurance company approved me for 30 visits until January 2027. I think I will be cutting back my visits for the summer since I can take it easy and then see how going back to work feels in August. Thank you everyone ❤️

@A MyFibroTeam Member yes I have the gloves too. TBH I think I have a spending problem! Not sure if I should laugh or cry about it.
