Arthritis pain
#31
A lot of the girls that I got started piecing quilts by hand have said that it has helped their arthritic hands tremendously. I know mine work more easily. Use the aspercreme or the Bio freeze. But, then take your pieceing to do in front of the TV. You'll soon notice a differece.

This process took about 3 weeks to feel the differance. I started this when I was diagnosed RA!
Friends that started and stopped tell me that when they stopped they felt the pain almost immidiately. I have also read that this does not work for everyone either.
So.... for what it is worth. I feel that it is all natural. It prevents the pain and I can quilt and sew for hours!
This may help someone!!!

I don't have arthritis but have read that cinnamon & honey can help people with arthritis and has other health benefits too. Here's a link with info about it http://www.healthdiaries.com/eatthis...-cinnamon.html

I take 2 Aleve a day - one in the morning and another in the afternoon/evening. Plus eat a lot of pineapple; for some reason it helps with the pain, and if you can get any juices with pomegranite in, they are good to help relieve pain also.

I'm not sure but I think that is called something like this...Not sure how to spell it... Daquarvein...me and my favorite sister and my favorite brother and my favorite dad all have it. It's a family affair.
Nancy,
This knot just popped up a few weeks ago where my thumb attaches to my wrist and it burns like fire. I have an appointment with my doctor later this month. I'll mention it to her. I'm so sorry about your RA. I'm sure my pain is nothing compared to yours. God bless you.
I have that same pain in th joint where my thumb goes to the wrist. It hurts all the time but sometimes it just throbs so bad i could cry. Aspercreme does help. My Dr. said it was carpel tunnel.

If you think you have arthritis, please talk to your doctor about it. there are easy tests they can do so you can find out.Don't wait so long like I did. I bought the comfort gloves and they help. Just please get the proper help, so you slow down the process. Blessing to you, Nancy

I take Advil Liquigels. Two last me all day. Also warm water feels sooo good. Biofreeze is great. My DD is a therapist and uses it all the time on her patients. Also Celadrin creme if you can find it. Avon used to sell it believe it or not!
