Suggest Remedies For Constant Pain And Stiffness In Hands

Posted on Tue, 13 Sep 2016

Question: Hello - I have fairly constant pain and stiffness in my hands. Is there a topical creme or remedy that can help relieve this? Is there anything else that can help? I have tried aspirin, ibuprofin (sp?), Excedrin, etc., but this helps very little. Thank you for your help.
