    I came across this while dealing with some impingement issues a few days back. It seems to have some positive effect after two days.

    As for weaker hands- yep, just diagnosed with arthritis in left thumb base and index finger...

    For what it's worth, if the ortho isn't doing anything except throwing OTC meds at you, I'd ask for a referral to PT if that is something you can access affordably. Not sure another MD will be very helpful to you.

    I had bad patellofemoral syndrome (wastebasket diagnosis for a bum knee) and had a lot of success working with them. YMMV. Otherwise, ditto to everything YVK said.

    Thanks again for all the suggestions. Gonna try the lacrosse ball one.

    And Neph, agree on OTC stuff. Doc has had me on diclofenac before for a short time, and has given me a shot or two. But going PT route for now; have appt this Friday. Would prefer that to reading warning labels.
