Arthritis pain in hands?!

Question: Arthritis pain in hands?

I have arthritis, and right now both of my hands are like really killing me. I'm like really achy all over - maybe it's the weather? idk but still I can't stand it! I'm only 15! But anyway, what's something besides meds that I can do for my hands? Both of them hurt in the little joints of the fingers, the joints of the thumb area, and my wrists. Usually heat helps, but it's not helping as much right now. Thanks!

Answers:

Try ice first, then heat later. Also, you could practice balling your hands up in a fist (a loose one) and then releasing. However, only do that to your tolerance. Also if your achy all over, rest and plenty of fluids.

17 year old who's had arthritis since he was 13.

Sorry to hear you have it at such a young age as the treatment for arthritis is really only any good for mature people who have had their children and left home. Why? because the drugs they give you actually lower your immune system, therefore having young children coming home with all these childhood diseases etc won't be any good for someone such as you. All you can do is take pain relievers or anti inflammatory drugs prescribe by your doctor. Good luck

My wife has the same problems. When she was your age she took a few Bayer Arthritis Pain to help with the pain. Apparently it works great
