Pain

Paraffin dip
From Tammi Brott, MI, USA. I wanted to share something that's really helped me with hand pain. My physiatrist recently sent me to an OT to help with joint protection/pain, and they helped me out a great deal. We came up with new ways of doing household chores that are less painful. Anyway, they had me do a paraffin dip each time I went...what a difference! The dip really decreased the pain in my hands.
