Hope it heals well.I call it dead people pieces, but the wife hates that. Casts have come a long ways in the last 20 years.

Yeah arthritis, over use, I've amputated half a thumb and I've got nerves pinched in my back that also makes them not work sometimes.Why do your hands hurt? Arthritis?
I think ignoring my pain and pushing through is part of the reason that it's gotten so bad. Sometimes they just physically won't do what my brain is telling them to do. They just lock into a claw lol. Im too young for all that.I tend to ignore pain, it gets in the way of finishing stuff. I just block it out. Prob not gonna find that on a self care list but sometimes stuff just has to get done. Eat celery, it helps. Don't laugh, google it.
Joint, muscle, tendon/ ligamentsSkin level joints or muscle?
Id imagine my bigger concern for aluminum should be from the dozen cans of beer I drink for dinner...I’ve always wondered if the aluminum oxide in synthetic stones is safe in the long term. Aluminum isn’t something you want a whole lot of inside your body. It can upset your immune system which would not be a good thing for auto immune issues such as arthritis.
I cut part of a tendon/ nerve in my pinky with a knife while honing it when my coon hound tried to jump in my lap. This picture is after about 3 days of healing. It went to bone.CA glue and duct tape for cuts, hydrogen peroxide dissolves super glue,
Bag Balm for moisturizing, Magnesium for joint pain, and muscle cramps. Be careful with Motrin. A tube of Bacitracin helps small cuts heal quickly, dab it on at night before bed.
I also keep a fully stocked First Aid Kit mounted to the wall next to my honing station. Fully stocked with tape and fresh CA glue, and easy to access, imagine you will be opening it with bloody hands.
Just pay attention, I have not cut myself badly in years.
If you have kids or pets, make it a habit when walking through the house with a razor, close the razor in the scales. Too easy for a dog or kid to come running around a corner.
My right rotator cuff is detached in the middle, only attached on ends. I got 2 bulging disks in my back and 2 shot knees. I eat good, raise some of my own food(veg, eggs, poultry) and hunt and fish for a lot too. I'm very active, I think over use might be part of the problem.I’m aware of body wide inflammation supported through good nutrition. Eating anti inflammatory foods and avoiding inflammatory ones. Regular movement, strength training, trying to maintain a healthy weight. Managing arthritic joints is challenging (knees and shoulder foe me). A wholistic approach and supporting the immune system are things I’m incorporating…time will tell.
I guess I shoulda clarified, most of my post wasn't 'advice', it's just what I do.I think ignoring my pain and pushing through is part of the reason that it's gotten so bad.

Yeah I don't like doctors either. I avoid them at all costs.I guess I shoulda clarified, most of my post wasn't 'advice', it's just what I do.
If I was giving advice, I'd say go see a doctor.
Me, I don't like doctors, so I avoid them as much as possible, so I push through. Usually.
The celery thing is more inline with advice tho...
Bag balm. The standard all other products are measured by for chapped dry skin.Udder butter and Motrin.
