Hi, Marlys, I don't have the same problem but was having major pain in both hands due to inflammation. I got on two minerals: Magnesium and Potassium - and I'm basically healed.
I've purchased the Nature's Way Brand because both minerals are Chelated so your body will absorb them better. Both are capsules. When I was in pain, I was taking two pills of each, in the morning and evening and within a couple of weeks the inflammation was gone. I have found that just about every pain in my body was alleviated with this formula - whether it's bunion pain that crops up on occasion or back pain or a couple of times now, a stiff neck - haven't needed to see the chiropractor because this has taken care of those pains. I've got my husband on this now and his pains are disappearing too. Best, Cindy
