I go to a Rheumatologist for my arthritis and here are some helpful things to do. Tylenol Arthritis for pain, take Omega 3 Fish oil supplements and Rose Hips with Vit. C. I have a prescription anti-inflammatory also. They sell special fingerless gloves to keep the hands warm while working. Warm, moist compresses or soaks in the AM but in the PM when the hands are tired from the day - use cooling gels. Hope you find relief. It's a real bummer.
