I play guitar and my finder joints are getting stiff and a couple no longer will bend into a tight fist.
A bit sore, but not much.
Will voltaren gel have any hope of helping these joints? Is it better to exercise, maybe with squeezing a small handball, or is it better to minimize finger work outs to try to extend the life of the finger joints?
Voltaren Gel - Any good for stiff fingers?

you could try it. Voltaren gel is diclofenac in a gel form. Diclofenac is a anti-inflammatory drug used to treat inflammation. If it is inflammation or arthritis in your fingers than voltaren would be worth trying. HOWEVER, word of caution. since it is a anti-inflammatory drug you do NOT want to take ANY other anti-inflammatory meds like Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Aleve, etc. without talking with your doctor. Also it can interact with other medication that you may be on so I would only use it under the direction of your physician.
Good luck!
