Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Hand While Suffering From Arthritis

I am having alot of pain in my right hand. I know I have arthritis, as well as carpel tunnel, for which I will be having surgery hopefully this year sometime. I was diagnosed for that in Dec. But recently, I had alot of pain first in my elbow, inside-I could barely lift a cup of coffee without it hurting. Then that finally went away, but I noticed my pinky finger now hurting, kind of badly at times-when I bend it. My skin from that point up to my wrist even hurts some just to touch it. Any ideas?
