Really not sure if any of the responses are from doctors. I am not a doctor, but have Raynaud's and ironically also arthritis related to Carpal Tunnel. Would be best to contact your GP and a rheumatologist. I do where a metal bracelet, can purchase online, around my right wrist. This helps the Carpal Tunnel by 98%. Only time I take it off is when showering. It has magnets at each end and this take all the negative energy of the arthritis away. I also take 5000 mg of Moringa each morning and early evening for Raynauds. It helps, but does not take away the Raynauds.
