stiff fingers !

[nicki18]

Just wondered if anyone had any tips for really stiff fingers, especially in the mornings. I have to "crack" mine to get them to bent and its not very nice so any advice would be great.

Many thanks

Hiya, i have never had to crack mine, But they must really be painful, I'm sure there are a lots of friends on here that can help, The only thing i can think of is putting your fingers in to really warm/ hot water for a while, i used to that with my hands and fingers, so i am hoping it might help you a bit, Take care XX

Wax bath and put hands under hot shower. OT dept and physio can give you hand exercises.

I too wake up with stiff fingers. I find wearing arthritis gloves helps a lot.

Could have sworn I'd replied to this yesterday!

My solution is to save my nights dishes for the morning. Getting my hands in a sink full of lovely hot water is just wonderful first thing in the morning.

hi a early morning cuppa normally helps mine by hugging the nice hot mug or use the warm/hot water good luck xx
