Don't know if it will work on your hands, but Osteobiflex at WalMart has helped my arthritic knee a bunch. Takes 2-3 weeks to tell if it works. Being in the business I was in, I didn't have much faith in OTC drugs. Osteo surprised me and it was one of very few OTC meds I recommended to my patients. I'm still taking it. Not pain free, but better.
