I’m disappointed the castor oil pack did not help. I wonder if you used enough castor oil, it has to be used very liberally.
I’ll copy the original method as taught by the Cacey institute below, maybe you might try again? Just an idea. We’ve used it many times and it’s always helped.
Not copying, very lengthy with a short video. The castor oil pack described below is for a large pack on the torso, so those part of the directions are not relevant. The main parts that are relevant, to me, would be how to make the layers of flannel and how much castor oil to use.
The heating pad thing of course does not work on a hand, or even on other parts of the body if one does not lie down as directed. We’ve never used a heating pad with castor oil packs and they still have helped.
Video is on youtube as well as at the above link:

NEW How To Make a Castor Oil Pack
thanks for the info about the castor oil packs. I probably did not use enough oil. I see the doctor tomorrow and will go from there.
