Hang in there and find hand stretches exercises that help they may hurt at frist (not poping yout knuckles) just silple hand stretch, as I have RA & OA and I take med's, and I am an old geezer at 82, and delling with it for about 50 years.. but I would live the med's up to your doc, even the none perciption one, at least till you have tried a few, and the worst is old Arther may show in other joints, so be smart with it stay as active as you can.
I can tell you a TRX tray will help but I would recomend the type that hang from your sholders, Note the tops of your sticks are threaded, so if the diameter of the stick is the problem you can have some knobs made that will fit your fingers and just add them to the existing stick threads.
