Inflammation of the CMC joints

[Guest guest]

Recently I have started getting pain in both thumbs, but not the thumb, the

hand part. My doctor says its the CMC joints. It seems like the littlest thing

I

do brings a feeling that I have sprained my hands and typing is no good either

of course!

Does anyone else have this joint flare-up and what do you do for it? I will try

paraffin later. I am trying not to take pain meds since Percocet suddenly

makes me vomit and Vicodin makes me pretty nauseous as well. I am only

taking pain meds if the pain is an 8 level or greater because I can't take the

sick to my stomach part!
