Hello the best treatment for hand arthritis is tailored to the specific location in the hand where the arthritis is or the specific patient’s needs. It is best to see a hand specialist to help you decide what the best next step is to treat your pain.
Radically change diet to remove pro-inflammatory foods. Start Alive MVI gummies for men or women daily. Vitamin C 2,000 mg daily. Vitamin. D3 10,000 IU softgel daily. Magnesium citrate softgel 400 mg daily. Evening Primrose Oil softgel 1,300 mg 3 softgel bid. Organic/non-GMO/low gluten green Mediterranean diet. Liquid probiotics Good Belly brand 1,500 ml daily. Juicing: organic carrot/beet/ginger 1 glass daily. Locoregional Rx, massage hands every 3 hours while awake with Vicks or Family Dollar chest rub.
That really depends upon where in the hand your arthritis is located. Oftentimes, this can be treated with either anti-inflammatory medications if there is no contraindication or cortisone injections. You could also consider occupational therapy. If all of these treatments do not provide you with relief of your symptoms, then sometimes surgery is indicated.
