I woke up this morning after taking care of my beautiful grandson for 2 days and it was very hard to move. At least for the 1st hour. Does anyone have any remedies for stiff joints. I feel to young to feel this old.
What has always worked for me is to keep moving, even if its real slow at first, sitting or laying down usually makes it last longer. Also cherry juice and pomagranite juice helps with stiff joints.

I have been drinking "Elations" (I think that is how it is spelled), It seems to work for my ole "Arthur" pretty good. It is awful that we have to start aching like that. It reminds me that I am getting older.
Sit in a hot/warm tub. Hot tubs also help. I have sore joints from RA and can relate. I feel the way you do so often...am I getting old at 50? I hope not, but some days I feel like Grandma Moses and other days I feel like I am 30 again...sending you a hug from Illinois today Diane.
Appreciate the little things, for they are not really that little.
I agree with denise.. a hot bath always does me good.. especially if you can get ahold of some eucalyptus bath salts. Drinking something like elations, ...getting glucosamine/condroiton (sp?) is a good thing... warmth always helps me... always use warm water with washing hands or dishes or anything like that... I usually just have to deal with it though. :(
