    Hello @DrB , welcome to TAC. I hope you have a great journey here. I also have arthritis in my hands and fingers (among other places) and some times the pain and swelling within the joints gets to a point that its hard to make an open C chord. When things get that bad for me, I resort to topical creams for some relief. I’ve used prescription as well as OTC medical pain relief creams, one is not better than the other, but the OTC ones are easy to come by and less expensive IMHO. I rub the cream thoroughly on my hands and fingers and wait for it to take affect (maybe 1/2 hour) and then wipe my hands off before I pick up my guitar. Just something to consider.
