Members shared practical solutions for managing severe hand pain, loss of grip strength, and numbness that many experience alongside foot pain at the end of the day. Several members recommended compression gloves as a helpful tool for reducing pain to manageable levels, while others found relief using topical treatments like Salonpas with lidocaine, Voltaren gel (now available over the counter), or Aspercreme. A recurring theme was the importance of trying different approaches to find what works for each individual, with members also mentioning stress balls for grip exercises, ice and immobilization, and careful use of prednisone under medical supervision.
