That's absurd, there's a fairly wide range of prescription painkillers, many non-narcotic, I only take non-narcotic ones. & I'm 2 helpful creams, well 1 is a gel - Lidocaine/Prilocaine cream (combined). & Diclofenac gel, & they may come in other forms like ointment if that's better 4u. But u need to see other doctors, because whoever told u there are was unfortunately lying, I can't imagine y, but it's just not true.

There’s something you can try but it’s not instantaneous. Over the course of a week or two, you will notice a difference. Collagen. You can buy it at places like Walmart or order it online. It’s a powder supplement. It’s in a big plastic jar 🫙 near the vitamin aisle that costs around $20. You add a scoop to your coffee, smoothie, etc once a day. It helps my joint pain plus adds nutrients to help my hair, skin, and nails. I hope that helps. I still use ibuprofen sometimes but as a diabetic, I’m really not supposed to.

I use Voltaren gel and compression gloves when mine are bad. Other gel/cream options have lidocaine in them which help too. Heat packs help with the pain, but can increase swelling. I like using rice socks over a heating pad because it's moist heat. I also have carpal tunnel and cysts in both wrists on top of arthritis, so I completely understand how painful it can be. I hope this helps. 🙏

You could try using a heating pad or ice pack. Also try when it’s not hurting to do wrists exercises to help strengthen it. Gels do help to they sell some that are made for pain relief. Don’t feel old it’s not you just something you have.

Thank you so much everyone 🥹

Topically, I use the Biofreeze roll-on.

I have tendonitis in my wrists, my mom has carpel tunnel and her mom has arthritis. Stretching helps us all to a degree. Putting your hands together 🙏 and lifting and raising them is one stretch I do a lot also holding your hand palm facing out and stretching each finger back individually. Always stop if it is painful stretch only until it is slightly uncomfortable.

I'm not diagnosed with arthritis, but I'm pretty sure I have it. Turmeric helped a little when I was taking it, but I hate taking pills, so I made myself Golden Milk lattes with some fresh turmeric I got from Amazon. I shredded the turmeric and froze it by the tablespoon, and then I microwaved it with milk and spices, then added honey. I stopped when milk started triggering my IBS, but it might be helpful for you. My mom also sees a lot of benefits from taking collagen (Perfect Supplements Hydrolyzed Collagen, specifically) in her coffee in the mornings. I've started taking it, too, but it's supposed to take a while to start helping.

I feel you. As a almost 27 year old I have arthritis in my pelvis and knees. I use a walking stick...

I also feel your pain I have arthritis in my hands, wrists,spine and my knees and I'm starting to feel in hipe
