It is good that you have something that helps
Glad to hear that it is helping
Comes from all those years netting Blueball fish :dono
I have it as well. The knots in end joints will hardly let them bend at all. My Dr. cousin got me on hemp oil. I aways thought if was snake oil but it has done wonders for my pain.
Interesting. I have OA in both thumb joints. My wife takes prednisone for PMR. I might borrow some.
I'll have to tell my wife about that. She has major problems with her hands due to arthritis.
I know Arthur It Is also. Both hands, Back, Foot joints. I have been drinking sweet pickle juice which helps some. I might have to ask my doctor for 5mg prednisone. Thanks for the "Hands" up.
Would like to find something that works . Hard to fish two days in a row . Do not grip pole but hold with two fingers .lol God has blessed me with good hearing/ sight . Bless God and we not going to quit !
It am on 75mg diclofenac twice a day for mine. It’s ok and if I miss a day it tells on me very quick. Glad you got some relief CP.
You guys get you some Turmeric capsules!
My lady has severe arthritis and now it’s gone and she can bent her hands without hurting!

By all means have your doctor prescribe Prednisone (or any other steroid class of medications), rather than just take it because it worked for someone else. Everyone tolerates/reacts to medications differently, and the side effects can sometimes be worse than the condition being treated.
No, I'm not a doctor, nor did I play one on TV, and I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn. I was a Registered Pharmacy Technician for ~45yrs, & worked closely with Pharmacists, Doctors/Nurses, and other healthcare personnel. One of my jobs was to spot possible interactions between meds that patients were already taking & new ones being prescribed. Luckily, I had a computer system which red flagged such possible interactions, which were quickly noted to the Pharmacist on duty & then that info was relayed to the prescribing physician.
My wife and I both have to take a lot of meds daily and possible interactions has always been a concern of mine. I knew someone had to be monitoring it but wasn't sure how. So thanks for clearing that up for me Pappy.Quote:

I'll be using it to put myself to sleep earlier than normal, so I can get up earlier and get to the lake earlier. Having worked night shift for nearly 40yrs, my sleep schedule still leans towards being awake in the wee hours of the morning and sleeping during the early part of the day. That's not so bad when/if I were fishing at night ... but my fishing buds are early morning risers and struggle to stay up till the wee hours. :Doh:
Back in the 70s, my shirts has small burn holes from toke explosions.
"Stems & seeds damage" :check Remember it well. :biggrinQuote:

There’s only one thing golden bout these years.
Glad you found some relief!
If you decide to switch to something else.
Be careful about how you quit the prednisone.
Can cause a psychotic break, in some people.

I have taken or tried most everything mentioned, have to find a balance, if i get the pain and stiffness to go away I can tie on jigs easy. BUT the pain in my hands helps me feel the light bites so try to find a happy medium.
Tom - It may be good for arthritis but it plays heck with my blood sugar, which is not good for my diabetes.
Hey Nimrod. I'm 14 years older than you and there ain't nutin golden about it. :yikes I feel sorry for Tom, he's older than me.
