Does it relieve arthritis in the fingers?

I'm not sure. I used it for a pulled muscle and for what is known as tennis elbow and it worked great for both. I would try it if I had arthritis.

Ive never tried it on my hands, I use it for my knees but id imagine it would. Ive left it on my hands before and felt the same sensations as on my knees.

It would relieve pain in the joints of your fingers. I would simply recommend to wash the finger tips with dish soap after, that should get most of the balm off your fingers. With respect to touching your eyes, I don't think you would touch your eyes immediately after applying hand cream either... Maybe that's just me. So, in short, yes, it would help relieve pain (temporarily), and no, you shouldn't touch your eyes with it on your fingers.

Good question. Short answer. yes. There's a problem tho. I like Tiger Balm bc it's based in oil and stays on my painful areas for longer than BioFreeze. BUT: it can really sting if you get it on your eyes. Sadly, i wouldn't recommend it for your hands. After I apply it, I wash my hands.... Maybe if you can only apply to the knuckles affected? Still, there's the chance of getting it in your eye. I don't know how well BioFreeze works after it's dry. (BioFreeze is what physical therapists use.) Keep searching. I googled topical pain relief and got some interesting products to consider. Good luck.

I know it's good for pain. I use it every time a joint hurts. I don't think it a long term fix. It's extremely good for muscle soreness.

I mainly use this for back & neck pain, but you could rub it on your fingers. The relief will only be temporary. The concern would be if you rub your eyes with your fingers. Sting! I honestly wouldn't try it on the fingers due to that.

Most would agree it's less stressful on your hand - so it should help your pain. I'd also consider exercise - check out Treat Your Own Hand and Thumb Osteoarthritis for a few simple exercises that will probably help you a lot.

I don't know. It didn't work for me, it was too painful because of my arthritic fingers

Not necessarily. I use full strength on my wrists for arthritis pain. If it stings a little, I use some lotion or argon oil on it. Go online and read all the info, there is a ton out there. You can dilute it, but I do not.

Yes--I have found using them has strengthened my hands tremendously. It has also releaved some of the pain associated with my arthritis.

I have found that it does. However it may depend on the type of muscle injury you may have. I use it a lot for my arthritis and fibromyalgia pain. Over all I would recommend it for almost all types of muscle pain,

I use this product to reduce inflammation due to arthritis but don't see much difference in discomfort or energy level.

Not sure about this for arthritis. I would recommend Dr Christopher's Formula Complete Tissue and Bone Ointment or their comfrey ointment.

I believe it would be great for your arthritis. I got it because I was diagnosed with tendinitis & golfers elbow. I have very tiny wrists. It works for me great! I use it 5 times a day. Cold first then I heat it up in water as the instructions say to. I do however use a paper towel for both as it does get cold/hot but when it wears off, I remove the paper towel. I love this product and highly recommend it.

Most agree they CAN get warm in the summer, and do get relief to varying degrees after removal. The deal is they treat symptoms, not the cause, so supplement with a few hand ex's like the kind in Treat Your Own Hand and Thumb Osteoarthritis to get longer term relief.

I don't think it has any medicinal purpose or value officially. It does compress under your hand and which can be soothing. I've had in on my car for probably close to two years and it still compresses nicely. It has gotten sun faded and there is a small tear on the seam, but it has been a while now. One bonus is that in the summer it doesn't get too hot and in the winter it doesn't get too cold. Ultimately if your hand or wrist is in significant discomfort this won't supply the entire solution for you.

I would say it helps more then relieve pain. They will help prevent pain when you start using them when you are not feeling pain in fingers.

Yes. I am a diabetic and around my fingers get very dry....so I rub it into my skin around fingers and hands. Really helps!

Yes. It allows free movement of the fingers. The thumb, (except for the last knuckle), and the wrist are braced. I wore mine while working at a job which requires me to work with my hands. It works very well and this is a great price. If you have De Quervin's Tenasitavitis, this is the brace you need.
