That's terrible! I hope it gets better!

I know that my teacher and my grandma had arthritis, and one of the things they would do is use the mouses that are cordless and wear these gloves and then stick little heat packs in them whenever their hands hurt.

I hope that the acupuncture works!
Maybe a manicure might help too
