Not surprising wd40 as it was made from chemicals that resembled refined fish oils.

I am taking Glucosamine and Chondroitin , cod liver oil , doing my best to remove sugar ,alcohol , carbs in general and seed oils from my diet . I am going to make a copper bracelet and put it on one side only to see if there is a difference . Still early in these trials so hard to tell yet . I have been drinking a glass of homemade v8 vegtable cocktail we make every year for me . It has tomatoes ,cabbage , cucumbers, carrots , spinach , onions, garlic , sea salt, black pepper , tumeric, cellery , peppers .
Things went from tolerable to having dificulty doing up buttons , writing or starting nuts and bolts last winter . I am hoping by end of winter this year to be back in the tolerable catigory again . I don't expect to find a cure but hope if I can do enough little things that will alow me to work away on small stuff like carbs without all the pain in tthe hands .
will report on result

Good luck Dave. Hope it gets better.

It was common to see people wearing them years ago. I knew a mechanic from 50/60 years ago that wore one. And if he wore one I’d say it works.
Look it up on the internet and see.

Noel, is that copper?

Bob

Yes Bob. It is.

I went to the doc the other day and they gave me shots in the palms of my hands for the trigger finger situation I was having. I can tell the difference already, no more locking up of my fingers. Tests in a few weeks for the nerves running through my wrists for carpal tunnel.

Harry , what was the shot they gave you .

I believe it was Cortisol David.

update
cutting out sugar, coffee , processed foods and cut way back alcohol (beer) has helped some
a friend gave me this to try and helps a little KaLaya 6x Extra Strength Pain Relief Cream
the vertic is still out on the supplements
wairing braces at night helps a little
looking into bee veneum injections , some say it invoke's a reaction from the body to heal the area and if you target the joint
changing the way I use my hands has helpped a little
It took many years of bad diet and over use to get here so don't expect a quick turn arround , but by spring I will have a better idea of things
I have found resurch that says if given a chance the body will repair damaged joints , That being said the body needs help with good food and lower impact on joints to make it happen . With everything as you get older it take longer to heal
but there is hope

I was wondering how things were going Dave.
