Arthritis in Your Hands

Hand Arthritis

Arthritis Hands is the inflammation or irritation of the joints in the hand and is usually accompanied by tenderness to the touch, pain in hands and painful movement. Sometimes referred to as Rheumatoid Arthritis Hands as it is a common form of rheumatory arthritis. We will experience arthritis joint pain in our hand when we flex or straighten it (or accidentally roll over on it when we’re sleeping).

As we age (particularly 40+), our tissues and bodily structures (especially joints) tend to repair themselves at a slower level and depending on our lifestyle and diet, may not repair themselves adequately – the result is a type of arthritis and in this case Arthritis in the Hands.

Pain in the Hands

Hand Pain can make simple tasks like opening a jar or turning a doorknob rather difficult as one wrong touch can send pain shooting up to our brains, and then we’re left with a red throbbing hands. The natural tendency is to place it in the mouth as the pressure and wetness feel good to it immediately after an injury. Or course, this is not always practical, unless you’re in preschool!

Hand Arthritis is believed to be caused by performing excessive repetitive type movements, particularly when bending or straightening the joints in the hand but is most commonly associated with injury or inflammatory conditions in the body. It can be a crushing injury like slamming a door on it or from hitting it against a hard object straight on.

Treatment for Arthritis Hands

If you are using a repetitive motion, try to adjust the angle or your activity, or stop, rest and massage the affected hand.
Incorporate arthritis exercises
Begin an arthritis diet, and cut back on the items that cause inflammation and pain
Include Omega-3 fatty acids (preferably from flax or plant sources, as animal sources are highly acidic)
Add some warming spices (anti-inflammatory) to your meals if you enjoy them (curry, turmeric, ginger, garlic, cayenne)
Drink plenty of liquids (this will help hydrate the joint, and keep it operating smoothly)
Get a magnetic wrap or brace (the highest Gauss possible – around 800 or more and neodymium type) and keep the hand immobilized
Alternate between hot and cold packs around the joint. About 10 minutes each, cycle a few times between hot and cold
Take arthritis remedies (glucosamine, Hyaluronic acid, SAM-e, Boswellin)
Try some homeopathic cures as well
Lower your stress level (watch a comedy or even sing around the house, it really does work)

Stretch you wrist, fingers and thumb when you get a flare and stop the pain in its tracks. Click on the following picture for a hand and wrist pain relief video available at Amazon:
