having had an appointment with the specialist nurse yesterday I have been referred to occupational therapy for some help with my clawed hands. Really hoping I can get some positive help as I do suffer at times with pain and stiffness despite doing exercises. She also mentioned a wax bath treatment which she said they could go through with me as the baths are available online. Anyone have any experience of these? I’ve had a quick look and the wax seems quite expensive but I’m guessing you can use it more than once. Any advice or information appreciated thank you. 🤗

I got all the equipment but haven’t yet used it as it takes a long time to prepare and I never have that much time to myself. You can definitely reuse the wax over and over, if it’s only you using it. The nurse specialist I saw in January strongly recommended it so I keep intending to ….
AS I write I have one of my hands in wax. I’ve had a wax bath for ages but can only use it when I have no open wounds so it’s a joy at the moment. It’s warm comforting and moisturising and I can do a bit of physio on my hands after. I leave it on warm when I’m able to use it and dip my hands 2-3 a day. I’ve used the same wax for ages.
I've been told that if you moisturize the hands just before use that the wax slides off much more easily afterwards.
