Maybe works for sore muscles.
I can not pick up a potato chip without shooting pain in my thumb and wrist. So I tried it....did not work for me.

bought a tin boat and decided to change out the trailer tires for some long hauls without worry and to have a spare tire.

Well, the lug nuts were seized up REAL good and even though i finally used a long breaker bar in the END..... trying to use a crisscross lug wrench..........
left me with a totally sprained wrist and swollen fingers for a week.

just like your description.... couldn't pick up ANYTHING

EMU OIL to the rescue! -good as NEW used that and the pink
Arthritis sport rub which is just epsom salts and alcohol(costs a dollar @ the dollar store) FIRST
then the emu spray and rubbed -em both in together

Imagine putting your hands through that rigor everyday.
This month marks my 45'th year in the construction trade.
The overuse and abuse my hands have endured is taking it's toll.
At this point nothing relieves the pain.....tried cortisone injections and other remedies to no avail. Surgical repair is iffy too.

Thumb basal joint (where the thumb meets the wrist): This joint is exposed to very high stresses with normal activities. Forces felt at the tip of the thumb are multiplied 12 times in their effect to the thumb base, thus predisposing this joint to wear. Arthritis of this joint is very common. Attempts at silicone replacement of this joint have not been as successful as hoped due to implant failure and bone destruction.

Hey guy's & Gal's , I've been using CBD oil and salve on my hands , past carpal release, trigger finger, loss of muscle on left thumb base it does relieve some of the acute weird sensations but my hands are beyond repair.
Now I need a total hip Left replacement , Pain meds or over the counter meds don't touch the constant pressure and ache but good OL MJ relaxes the stressed muscles relieves some of the pain accompanied
with this condition. Getting new hip 7/30 out of work till sept .
I believe the oil and salve work better than your over the counter smelly jelly my O2.
