Seb, I soak my hand in a basin of hot water. That helps the pain more then anything else. In the mornings, I wash the dishes by hand, rather then put them in the dishwasher. The hot water feels so good and it helps with the stiffness.

Cherish your yesterdays,
Dream your tomorrows,
But live your todays.
Do the very best you can
leave the rest to God.
God Bless,
