My friend has rheumatoid arthritis. Would this be difficult for her to use?

I can't say for sure about it being difficult for her to use but if it helps it does grind smoothly without a lot of effort and the grinders are adjustable. In any case it would make a nice gift for yourself if it didn't work out!

Not at all. Very easy to turn. The salt and pepper come out nicely ground :)

She should be ok, if she doesnt like it, just have her reach out to me and I will issue her a refund.

I feel that having to hold the on button all the time is uncomfortable So if you have arthritis would make it hard

Gosh, altho my 99 year old Mother has no problem applying the brake, she is not a faithful brake applyer. She is pretty strong with no arthritis to speak of. I am 77 and have Parkinson's and arthritis but no problem with the brakes.

No, it is not like those at all. By the way, Frankincense (boswellia root) also works for arthritis, and helped a friend of mine with a frozen shoulder for years - the only thing that worked for her. It is also one of the ingredients in a formula by BioFlex. Many studies have been done on it proving its effectiveness. They generally agree that relief was experienced in about 7 days of use. I did my research before I used it the first time, and the research was spot on. It helped me.

Not to sure...it is a little cumbersome so if she has trouble bending over it may be hard for her to use. I get a little frustrated with it sometimes but the benefits are worth the trouble!

As far as I know, it is not intended to be used over the joints for arthritis pain, though it wouldn't hurt to try it. It is a skin cream. I couldn't tolerate the smell. I had to chuck it.

The button would be pushed in by your index or your pointer finger and is fairly easy to push in. You do need your thumb to support/hold the bottle while pushing. If your arthritis is severe then it may be hard to do.

I have arthritis in my wrist and can use it with no difficulty. If you can hold the jar with one hand & push the handle of the opener with the heel of your other hand, it shouldn't have to involve your thumb on that hand. My concern would be the thumb of the hand with which you are holding the jar. We find it to be a very helpful tool.

I would have to say it totally depends on the exact location and cause of the pain. I've ordered several bottles of this but do not use it for pain. I can only recommend you do some research on oils yourself and perhaps consult with an expert but this might be better suited for pain than this is, it just depends. http://www.amazon.com/Synergy-Arthritis-Essential-Undiluted-Therapeutic/dp/B006OR99U0?tag=t601000000-20

I have no idea. But I have arthritis in both of my arms and I have no problem using it.

I too have arthritis, but not so much in the hands...as another comment says, it depends on how much is in the pot!

Hard to say -- depends how much one's arthritis has crippled the hands. I do have painful arthritis is many joints, but not so much in the hands. It is a bit of a "stretch" to grasp the wide-open handle and base with one hand, but may be increasing more so as the hands become more degenerate from arthritis.

They can be difficult to open, so maybe not good for arthritic fingers. I like that they are hard to open as I keep the box for a day either in my purse or pocket at work and don't want them to open.

Your mom can use this very easily. I'm 56 and have rheumatoid arthritis, and have no trouble using it. It pushes very easily.

I'm age 63, and I have joint pain, BUT, I can still use my little can opener. Each person who has problems with their hands might be different. I say buy one and try it, if it causes you pain to use it give it to a family member. They are so reasonable it would be worth the money. I really love them, I carry one in my purse on my key ring. I hope that helps you! Lady Survivalist -
