Morning stiffness is a manifestation of rheumatoid patients (of course, it can also occur in diseases such as osteoarthritis). That is, in the morning or after stopping activities for a period of time, patients feel that the affected joints are stiff and their activities are limited. In severe cases, you can feel stiff all over, and the symptoms can be alleviated or disappeared after getting up or warming up.

To relieve the symptoms of morning stiffness, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used first, which can be taken after dinner or before going to bed the day before, which can obviously relieve morning stiffness in the middle of the night or the next morning. The specific usage of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs will be discussed later, and the following measures will help to eliminate morning stiffness:

1) Fist-making: Before getting up every morning, do a fist-making action in bed. Not too fast, but hold on tight and do it 50- 100 times a day.

2) Finger separation: Do this action before getting up, and practice alternately with fists, 50- 100 times a day.

3) Warm hand bath: After getting up, you can soak your hands in warm water for 20 minutes, and keep the water temperature at around 50℃.

4) Wrist flexion and extension exercise: After getting up, exercise your wrist, usually not too many times, only about 30 times.
