What Relieves Arthritic Pains In Hands, Wrist, Hip And Back?

I have serious arthritis in hands wrist hips back. Now my fingers are locking up. Right 3rd finger has been doing it for months, sometimes takes over an hour to release, now left 3rd finger starting. Someone mentioned to me few days ago something called trigger finger. Pain level is at least 12 and now shoots up my right arm at times almost to elbow. I have no ins right now, medical bills are far more than I can handle, is there something I can do to help relieve some pain
