Having RA for the past twenty years has taken a toll on my hands I can't make a closed fist nor can I push my hand flat on a table either ... Does anyone have any recommendations for help with inflammation?
@StrugglinMama I have the same issues

What do compression gloves do? Do you also have fibromyalgia? How do you know the difference if you have both?

@Sexycop I have both Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid & Osteoarthritis..... Fibro flares for me are more in my neck & shoulders down to shoulder blades.... for me, Fibro feel more muscle pain RA & OA .... hands, elbows, knees, hips & my feet 🥺 I deal the best I can.
@Lifesaver350 how do you know the difference. I have all 3 as well. I hurt every day and don't know to determine which is which. What meds are one if you are open to sharing.

Yes! Usually my thumb and pointer fingers. :(( I usually use compression gloves or aspercreme with lidocaine.
How long have you been on the Orencia? I just started it about 2 months ago. Has it helped much? My Rheumy always tells me to let her know if I'm flaring. She will put me on prednisone temporarily, usually a couple of weeks to bring the flare down.

Both my hands 😥 I've spent the last couple of days dropping stuff & the pain is absolutely horrible. I exercise my hands and I too have compression gloves, sometimes my the joints in my hands hurt so bad I can not tolerate wearing the gloves 🥺
