redbird: closeup of me drinking tea, in a friend's kitchen (Default)

During the night last night, the fingers on both my hands were hurting, and I couldn't make a fist with either. Getting up and running warm water over them helped, enough that I could and did go back to sleep. It's still not great, but I can sort of close both hands, and the pain has receded enough that I forgot to mention it to [personal profile] cattitude until [personal profile] adrian_turtle asked how I was doing.

"Receded" here means stiffness, mostly, which I have sadly gotten used to. Wondering if I should be taking NSAIDs for it more often.

Sending hugs. That sounds so uncomfortable

Ow.

I have no suggestions (not that you asked for any). Everyone I know with hand issues has other hand issues.

A device that might help is a special paraffin heater device that is used for PT and sign language interpreters. It makes hands amazingly flexible.
