I am a woman, 80 years old, living in Vancouver. I am still active and agile and never had aches and pains until 6 months ago, I had trigger finger on my right hand, the ring finger. My family doctor didn t think much of it, saying when he uses the pressure pump to measure the blood pressure often, he too has trigger fingers. I also find my left hand gets numb often, and then my left hand also start having trigger finger. The last two months, I have pain on both my wrists, and both my hands get swollen, I cannot close my fist, especially in the morning. Now I take one Aleve before I go to sleep, so I feel better in the morning. Should I keep on taking Aleve? Will my pain and swelling go away in time?
