Is there any arhthritis pain of hand

 

 

Yes, Fawzia, oateoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis - you can check it all

out with a Google search. And yes, it does/can come and go - very much so.

Very often starts in the root of the thumb of the operative hand. Can also

have nerve involvement, which may eventually entail a carpal tunnell procedure

(op). It is surprising what surgery is done nowadays, including replacement

knuckles and finger joints and the thumb joint. Personally I would not like

to 'go' there...!! One op that does not look too horrific, is the use of

Artelon CMC Joint Spacer in the joint of the thumb, this fully preserves the

complete thumb joint. It is a T-shaped scafford that is implanted/inserted

into the joint, between the two bones, cushioning the cartilage in an arthritic

thumb joint: one's own natural cartilage eventually grows up and around it.

 

But as far as possible go the alternative. Rest and icing will help when

horribly painful and inflamed. CoQ10 should help and Omega 3 & 6 - fish/krill

oils. Flax seed oil is also good but krill is the best. Curcumin will help

deal with pain - there are many alternatives to deal with pain. Try and

steer clear of those NSAIDs (ruins the gut, leads to ulcers, not to mention

being

bad for the heart!)
