Hey, don't stress too much about arthritis in hands, it's pretty common! My grandma uses warm water soaks and does gentle finger exercises, which really help her. Also, definitely see a doctor, they might give you some specific exercises or meds. But try to keep your hands moving gently!
While diet alone won't 'fix' arthritis, certain foods can help manage inflammation. I've read about consuming more anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric, ginger, and berries. For a vegetarian like me, plenty of leafy greens and omega-3 rich seeds (like flax) can be beneficial. But please, always consult your doctor or a nutritionist for personalized diet advice alongside medical treatment for arthritis.
Gentle exercises and warm compresses often provide good relief for hand arthritis.
Arthritis in hands sounds painful and limiting. It's so important to get a proper diagnosis from a rheumatologist to understand the type and severity. They can recommend specific exercises, splints, or medication. Don't try to self-treat completely, as some conditions need careful management to prevent progression. Take care!

Beta, for hand arthritis, my dadi used to say warm oil massage with sesame oil helps. Also, keeping the hands moving with gentle exercises like squeezing a soft ball. But this is for comfort, not a cure. Always see a doctor for proper medicine and guidance. These are just small helps.
