I have arthritic hands and my thumb joints burn and throb. The best advice I received for easing the pain was to wash my dishes in the sink instead of using the dishwasher. Moving my hands and fingers through warm, sudsy water for 15 minutes several times a day works wonders. I have also discovered that there is absolutely nothing wrong with pampering myself by putting my favorite lotion on my hands and slipping them inside heated mittens every evening.
