I am not a doctor so I won't give medical tips, but personally, soaking my hands in warm water with rock salt for 10 minutes every evening reduces the stiffness. It gives temporary relief after a long day of work.

My teenage daughter started having severe stiffness in her fingers, which was so hard to watch. We got her some soft stress balls to squeeze gently during the day and it helped keep her fingers flexible. Always make sure they keep their hands warm when the weather gets cold.

Dealing with chronic hand pain is really tough when you have to manage daily chores. For me, reducing inflammatory foods in my diet made a slight difference, but I always suggest consult your specialist doctor before trying any new therapy.

I was just reading about this online because my dad has similar complaints. Apparently, using ergonomic pens and keyboard rests can reduce the daily strain on finger joints. It might be worth looking into those small changes.

Continuous typing on laptop makes my fingers super stiff, yaar. Actually, doing some basic finger stretches every hour helps a lot to ease the tension. You should try keeping a hot water bag near your desk, it works wonders.

Look, don't ignore hand pain thinking it is normal fatigue. Go see an orthopedist first to get a proper diagnosis. Meanwhile, avoid lifting heavy buckets and give your hands some rest instead of typing constantly.
