I have arthritis in my hands and your description sounds just like how my hands have felt this Winter. I actually had to get steroid shots in my hands last fall.

The best thing I’ve found for stiffness and pain my feet, is CBD oil . It’s an all natural anti inflammatory so it’s soothes nerves as well as tendons and ligaments that are inflamed because diabetes does that but it’s also a natural pain reliever and no side affects like drowsiness or upset stomach. Hope this helps

One of the things I've been told that whenever your feet or fingers feel cold like you might be getting frostbite is to put them under lukewarm to cold water, not hot water. I do find that it works a lot faster to warm yourself up.
