Arthritis and shooting - Page 3

Arthritis in my 77 year old hands dictated a caliber downsizing for me.
Gifted my big bore handguns (.44 magnums, .45acp) to my sons and now am limited to 9mm & .38 Special, and tamer loads of .327.

I recently heard about Near Infrared therapy for arthritis and other ailments.
Has anyone tried it?

Never herd of it. I did, however, have a breakthrough with my pain specialist. They are going to do dry needle therapy. Basically, localized acupuncture. Had initial shots in the office and I cannot tell you how much relief I got. This is my neck and spine. No help for hands, but that is the worst pain I have.
