How to soothe arthritis pain in hands?

My hands have been really painful with arthritis lately; sometimes I can't even hold a cup properly. I've tried some ointments, but it's not enough. What can I do to soothe arthritis pain in my hands?

For hand pain, you don't need expensive therapy equipment right away. Just fill a bowl with warm water at home and slowly open and close your fists inside it; it works like a charm for stiffness and costs nothing. Save your money for the doctor's consultation fee instead.

Haan na, hand pain makes even daily kitchen work so difficult. Actually, soaking hands in warm water with rock salt for ten minutes really relaxes the small joints. You should try this tonight before sleeping, ho na.

My grandmother has this hand pain and I often see her using those squishy stress balls to keep her fingers moving. It actually seems to help her quite a bit during winters when her hands get stiff. Maybe give that a shot, it's cheap and easy to do while watching TV.

My fingers started aching last week and I immediately started worrying if it's rheumatoid arthritis and if my hands will become bent. I have been wearing warm gloves at night and it is feeling slightly better. Please get a proper blood test done so you don't sit and worry like me.

In our times, we used to gently massage the fingers with slightly warm mustard oil containing a few cloves of garlic. It brings warmth to the joints and reduces the morning stiffness. Do this gently, and if the pain increases, consult your physician.
