Have you tried any of the CBD or Lidocaine creams? I have discomfort in my arms & hands from time to time ( spinal stenosis)

I have had luck with these. Might be worth a try.

Respectfully,

I need to try these as well.  Hands “lock up” during repetive twisting/ratchet/screwdriver motion.

around these parts so to speak … VOLTAREN (AINS)  extra strength is very popular as a pain killer… (anti-inflamation) …. takes a few days to ” work in”

I cant use the cbd because i work for the city and they do random drug tests. I might try lidocaine. My doctor told me theres not much i can do and he prescribed the generic of voltaren. I guess I’m stubborn and i havent tried it yet but I’ll have to start. Does it really help?

localized cortizone shots help  usually….. but they don’t fix  bones

I talked with a woman years ago and she said WD-40 worked well for her hands.
