Hand, wrist & finger pain post treatment
Its been 13 months since I finished chemo & radiotherapy treatment & in the past 6 - 8 months the pain in my hands & wrists have become quite debilitating - I am not experiencing any pain in my feet,...
I finished chemo and rads 12 months ago, and also had tingling and stiff joints.
It sounds almost too simple, but I found that slices of freshly cut ginger steeped in boiling water for a few minutes - then add some cold water and green tea and steep a few more - really had amazing effects. Quite a lot of our pink sisters also had good results. I still start the day with it, and my husband found it eased his stiff shoulder. Apparently ginger is a good anti-inflammatory spice and has been used forever as a natural treatment. It can't hurt to try it.
Best of luck - hope it works for you - Michelle x
