Oh bless your sweet heart that looks painful. Have you tried alternate icing and heating It? Epsom salts in warm water can help some people. Good old-fashioned heavy duty drugs are always an option. My hand did a similar thing last December and it was excruciating so I know what it's like and I'm so so sorry. Huge gentle hugs

Can u buy Epsom salts from any chemist?? Xx

[Gnarli in reply to Deejojo]

I should think so. Lloyds had a special offer on a bit back and I also saw it in Tesco.

[Gnarli in reply to Deejojo]

Do you have any painkillers? I was given tramadol and sleepers (amitryptiline -spelling not my strong point) which sent me into a very strange pinkish fluffy place where it didn't hurt but I didn't function well. I'd be banging the GP's door down!

Try.... a nice coldpac for 10 minutes then a hotpad to bring the blood back - that usually helps my hands!

Take the painkillers beforehand & hopefully some sleep will come!

That looks so painful ! Have you tried compression gloves? There was a period of time where my hands were so swollen I thought the skin would burst and the compression gloves ( on all night) alongside dehydracodiene and an anti immflamatory helped loads and allowed for some sleep .

I really hope you find some relief soon.

Know just how you feel! My hand been swollen for months - it was mostly how I was diagnosed as by time I got to rheumatology it was huge!

Pain never really lets up but heat bag helps a little. I'm on methotrexate added sulfasalazine 6weeks ago and top up with cocodomol. Wrists splints help the most! Hope you got some sleep in the end. M x

Im in agony with it xx

[marie66 in reply to Deejojo]

Honestly I've been living in splints for almost 18months and it just won't let up! Both hands wrists -left is the worst- now toes feet & ankles! I'm hoping the Sulfa kicks in soon and side effects settle a bit as I've to add hydroxychloroquine next. M x

[Deejojo in reply to marie66]

Thank u for your kind words x

Have you had any steroid injections in them to relieve the pain , i had 2 in each hand 2 months ago and relieved them for a couple off months but have worn off now but that might help a wee bit

In the middle of the night I wrap a tea towel round a bag of peas from the freezer and have fallen asleep like that. Sympathy and a big hug/
