Suggest Treatment For Hand Arthritis
Hello, I have severe arthritis in both hands and I m having difficulty opening jars and the simplest of water bottles. Is there a gadget that can adjust to various widths that could be recommended and where could I find it. I ve look and asked at many places and shops that sells kitchen things. Thank you. Vanessa\

Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns.
You need to be examined by the RHEUMATOLOGIST before a reasoned conclusion can be drawn. You need to get an x ray of the hand along with FBC, ESR , RA FACTOR AND ANTI CCP ANTIBODIES. After then we will be able to proceed.
Meet your physician.
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain
Get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
Regards
Dr Saad Sultan
