Been noticing my hands were getting stiffer over the last year or two. Thought the stiffness was the muscles because it's mostly when I close them. The last few months I've developed what seems to be arthritis in the index and middle finger of my right hand. It started after I cut the top of my hand just above the knuckle on my index finger. Now straightening my index finger, closing it and closing the middle finger on my right hand have been painful, and bumping top of the right hand is pretty bad. Kind of sucks because after working on things my hands can be really sore.
My wife has been dealing with rheumatoid arthritis for about 8 years, and I never knew how sore it can be. I don't want to be taking pain meds, and I don't want to take the prescription stuff she is on.
Are any of you dealing with arthritis in your hands? If so, what do you do about it?
