2. Like you, I've experienced similar symptoms within the past couple of years, practically to the point of being unable to use my right hand! If you don't mind, may I ask your age and if you type on the computer/laptop/phone, and if so how long have you been typing on a keyboard?
Personally, I've been in the computer field and typing for 40+ years! Only within these past 2 years have I experienced sharp pain and strain in my right wrist & forearm. According to my orthopedist, it's basically tendinitis (not arthritis). Since the pain is in the tendon, I've already had the maximum of 3 cortisone injections in that tendon (any more injections would risk tendon rupture). The doctor recommends future surgery if the pain is unbearable, but I simply can't fathom the idea of being without the use of my right arm for 2-3 weeks!
I recently discovered the benefits of DMSO. I started using the application method described at this EC link (https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/dmso2.html#tips_191900), and it works great for me. DMSO is also recommended for arthritis!
NOTE: If you decide to use DMSO, be sure to carefully & completely read all the recommendations on HOW to use it.

1) Borax seems to work for many people, but it is not the only remedy for arthritis.
2) I suggest you check out the link between arthritis and 25-OH-vitamin D levels. FYI -- in spite of articles like www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4434189/ -- it is inversely proportional.
I sincerely hope this will help you, or somebody!
