swelling of knuckles of hands 2nd and 3rd fingers, related to hereditary hemochromatosis disorder. Have tried working with an arthritis/rheumatoid dr., gotten cortisone injections once on one hand, twice on other hand. Using a prescription pain creme and taking supplement cherry tablets. similar to gout but not gout , nothing helps the swelling and pain. any ideas?
this is a tough situation where sometimes other patties like homeopathy works and affords symptomatic relief. Physical therapy, heat, mild exercises remain, however, are likely the mainstay of treatment. Pain medicines for symptomatic relief. Hot fomentation may help reduce swelling by dipping in warm water. Best wishes
