I’m so stressed I’m only 28 and I believe I have this condition because I am a professional oil painter and use my right hand for billions of strokes of painting… I have the rest of my life to go and I hope that I can heal from this and that it won’t affect my painting

Here in Alvin Texas we had an elderly lady( now deceased) that owned a large family vegetable farm and while working on a tractor was attacked by a large swarm of Africanized " killer bees" She was hospitalized as a result of over 100 stings. After her recovery, she claimed her arthritis was cured. ( I don't recall if any of her symptoms returned at a later date".

Very helpfull

Station 857 says:

I've had both thumbs joints replaced.And my shoulders, one popped out, so I had to get it fixed again.Still had to pay 5 grand for the surgery, & it was Not my fault..My left hip is hurting so bad , but X rays won't show anything, it's going to cost 600.00 for a MRI.. I can't afford it..But I just need to hang in there a few more months , & maybe medicare will help with some of the cost. But I know I will still have to have another insurance to help..Right now it's 888.84 a month for my husband & myself, next year it goes over 900.00 ..I'm hoping we won't have to pay as much..I'm sure you have a supplement …Good Video..

Asar Cadyn says:

I developed arthritis 6 years ago shortly after retiring at 65. The best thing I have done was a year ago when I went on a low carb diet. Every month since then has seen an reduction in stiffness and now I have very little pain in my hands and fingers. The fewer carbs I eat, the better things become.

Transport King says:

I've noticed stiffness in my right hand the last couple of months and when I move my thumb in and out the joint pops, I can't put much weight in my hand and it hurts all the time….
What kind of a doctor should I seek?

Rudy Red Cat says:

So, in essence, I’m stuck with this? I’m only 42 and I can’t bend my pointer finger. Rheumatoid arthritis has decent meds. This sucks

Pat Bosher says:

Thanks for your helpful video. My pointer finger is always swollen. But sleeping is worst. It swells up really bad. Keeps me awake. Once I get up it starts to go down. How is that if not being used.
