I use these exercise tools for the arthritis in my hands. I have them sitting by my computer and pick them up several times through the day and use them. It's helped me a lot. Motion is lotion.

I also take Glucosamine and fish oil.

Somebody on here recommended Blue Emu cream and I started using it.

Thank you for this. Ordered today. Started taking fish oil again. Start occupational therapy soon, and after thst gonna start rebuilding my strength and dry fire routine.

Hey guys. I'm qualified to speak on the issue of arthritis in the fingers. I'm a 65 year old male who's played guitar for 50 years and have been pistol shooting for two. I've been using a product called Blue Emu cream on my fingers and wrists for near 10 years. The cream works quite well. It won't completely stop pain and stiffness, but it will reduce both symptoms to a comfortable level. Check out the reviews for it online, maybe at Amazon. I buy the stuff in 12 ounce jars for 25-30 dollars. It's not exactly cheap, but it's worth its price.

The cream only needs to be applied once a day. I tried applying it 2-4 times a day, and it doesn't change its effect.

Try it and please report back so other old bucks may benefit. No, I'm not a stockholder!

Have you ever compared it to Aspercreme? It appears to be the same active ingredient (Trolamine Salicylate.) I’m looking for something for my thumbs, I’m having a hard time fretting - bass player here.

Haven’t read the entire thread but several people on keto and carnivore forums claims to have either “fixed” or greatly reduced their arthritis pain by using the keto diet or the carnivore diet.

And by “several” I actually mean a lot. If it were only a handful of people I wouldn’t give it much credit but when so many people are making the claim it would seem to have some merit.

I've tried Blue Emu, but found Penetrex to work better for my neck. "Better" wasn't quite enough so I switched to Voltaren (generic is fine, available OTC).
IMO... I would try Blue Emu and Penetrex first.... Voltaren/Diclofenac is still an NSAID and better to avoid it if you find something else that works for you.

I just got a small tube of Voltaren yesterday, I think I’ll give it a try so I can compare it against other things.

I'm a 77 year old male who has been shooting pistols for 50 years but I don't play guitar.

Blue Emu is good stuff. I use on anything that hurts. Hips, back, neck, shoulders, wrists and hands. My wife has a shoulder that hurt in the night keeping her from sleeping. Blue Emu and she sleeps all night.

The closer the inflammation is to the skin the better it should work. Bony fingers? Should be helpful. Sciatica underneath thick glutes? Probably not.

This is for pain at the base of my thumbs. I’ll also do one at a time to have a comparison.

Ok, Blue Emu arrived. Let’s see if I sprout feathers.
