Members with conditions like small fiber neuropathy, psoriatic arthritis, and fibromyalgia shared many ways to manage severe hand pain, swelling, and numbness. Several members found relief using copper-infused compression gloves, topical oils like black seed oil and copaiba, heating pads, and herbal teas like Lemon Balm and Holy Basil for nerve support. A recurring theme was the value of anti-inflammatory and low-oxalate diets, seeking second opinions from rheumatologists, and staying proactive about one's own health.

I also detox daily. Lemon water. 50+ years of accumulated toxins takes years to flush out. 62 and still flushing.....😅

I have had that as well as cebastious cysts on my knuckles. I used compression gloves with copper woven into them. And solomons seal oil with copaiba oil as a topical and heating pad. All back to normal now but I am never far from my gloves and oil..

A very well-regarded neurologist once told me “In Med school, we learnt not to pay too much attention to peripheral neuropathy. As far as neurology is concerned, PN is a nuisance issue. Our entire training is focussed on the biggies like dementia, Parkinson’s, muscular dystrophy, MS, etc. PN won’t kill you.” I asked him about treatment. And he said the established medicines are Lyrica and Gabapentin. I can prescribe you some. The first line of medicine is Gabapentin. I took it for a day or two and gave up after walking around like a zombie the next day. These pain meds offer no cure and neither do they modify the course of the disease. For me, the side effect of Gabapentin was simply not worth it.

Thomas7, Another great herbal tea daily is Holy Basil aka Tulsi. It is great for healing nerve damage, balancing blood sugar and so much more.

@A MyPsoriasisTeam Member, check out your supplements too. Most synthetics are insoluble meaning won't dissolve so they won't be absorbed and just pass right through. Most vit D3 is not the good kind. Find out what kind you have. Fun research ahead.
