they help with the pain but if you wear them too long your finger get stiff and doesn't move well. You are better off keeping it limber with exercise and warm or cold pack .

It does not return fingers to normal shape. I wear mine to keep knuckles safe from getting bumped. I hate when that happens. The pain is intense.

Hi Carmen, I'm not a Dr but if you need to stretch and hold your fingers spread out this will help. They work as pictured. My fingers cramp and curl into my palm. After use my hand relaxed and fingers stay straight longer. It's not a instant fix. I am using mine when ever I'm sitting and find myself trying to stretch out my hand.. You know yourself, try this and see if you are feeling better. I did. This helps my pain. You're already interested, I'd say that you have answered your question. Good luck to you.

Can't say. I can say it didn't so well for the thumb arthritis/tendinitis I had. So if you have those ailments, consider something else.

ASK Your Doctor. My guess is NO. I have seen inversion 'chairs' that tip you back in a more sitting position with bent knees that may be acceptable to you doctor.

I don't have tendinitis, but I do have arthritis in my hands. The YogaPaws help by stabilizing the wrist, and hands. I would ask your PT about the necessary exercises to strengthen, or stretch the muscles in your hand for the tendinitis. My experience with a bad knee is that when there is an injury other muscles can atrophy, or over strengthen, and then everything is out of alignment. So, both working your muscles without a brace on, and stabilizing with a brace are important. With my knee, I need a brace whenever I am doing yoga, at the same time I continue to stretch and challenge the muscles that are not working to support my over all knee functioning. The YogaPaws are great for that, as long as you find the right size and tightness (you can adjust this) so that it is acting as a grip and stabilizer, and not pinching, or interfering with mobility. I am not a PT, but this is my personal experience. They YogaPaws people are very good at helping you size the yoga paws, which always need to be on the tight size so you don't lose your grip during Yoga. One last thought, I would imagine that your hands are stretching different muscles depending on which is holding the violin and which is using the bow. Yoga is a great way to become really familiar with the muscles in your body, as it makes you so aware of how everything is working. This should help you figure out how best to work your muscles, and I would think that since yoga is not so much geared to the muscles in your hand a good PT could add real value for that. Yoga is amazing for everything, please don't give up!

Not having arthritis, this may not be helpful. The can opener is very easy to use. Fastens on cans easily and handle turns easily. I have found this to be the best hand held can opener we have ever purchased.

I am using the green one, seems to work well with me, as my fingers are weak. So if your fingers are week, then start with the green, but it is pretty easy. So it just depends how much you have been using your fingers. I was getting tendinitis and the green one seemed to have stopped that pain by strengthening my fingers. I just type a lot.

I dissolve Aleve in the DMSO and apply it to the affected joint area. I sometimes coat my hands with it. It does wonders for my non-rheumatoid finger joint problems, particularly gout. I wash the gel coating off the Aleve and add one tablet to about a tablespoon of DMSO and gently warm to dissolve. Pour a few drops on hands and watch TV for an hour until my hands are dry. I only use it occasionally when there is pain or inflammation. Right now my hands are pretty much inflammation free.

Similar to Rose Ann's experience above...I have severe osteo arthritis pain in my right hip and also rheumatoid arthritis in my right fingers. (I'm a 76 yr old retired golf professional.) I'm able to personally apply the Penetrex to my hip comfortably, but while I'm awaiting relief from the hip pain I've noticed the pain in my right hand and fingers has been greatly reduced. This cannot be attributed to a placebo because I wasn't even thinking about what was happening in my right finger joints when I was applying the Penetrex to my hip! Go for it!

I have a weak wrist in my normally "strong" hand, and I can't get this opener to work very well for me. I still need strength to open a jar, and that's what I'm lacking. I'm not sure how it would be with arthritis in the thumbs, but I would just assume it would be a similar situation because the thumbs usually carry much of the strength in twisting. I wish I could recommend something, but at this point, I'm still looking too. Good luck, and if you find something that works, please share!! :)

This can be worn to keep 1-2 of the joints in the finger from bending but not all 3.

I've suffered from Arthritis and Osteoporosis for a few years now. I have used this product for several years for healthier joints but it does seem to assist with my overall pain.

I make fresh juice every morning using a few different kinds of vegs. and apple and some pineapple. I add the fresh turmeric to the juice I make. I also add fresh ginger. The two together are supposed to be very helpful for arthritis which I also have. It helps me with the pain in my joints. I also am not as stiff as I used to be when I get up in the am.

I also have arthritis and it is a little difficult. I use a butter knife to open.

It stretches the fingers more and for an extended period of time. I would not hold my fingers without this in a stretched position for 20 or more minutes. Both my husband and I use the yoga hands for arthritis and they DO work for us.

I don't have arthritis and don't know anything about a link between iodine use or deficiency, and arthritis. I recommend the book "Iodine Why you Need it Why You Can't Live Without It" by David Brownstein. It answers all sorts of questions like this. You can probably get it on Amazon.
