Hand/finger pain & stiffness
Hi,
I have a question about hand pain. I already take a lot of gabapentin for MS pain in my leg and arm (right side) but recently my right hand and fingers have become stiff and painful.

I see a PT and she is referring me to OT but I didn't know if there was anything I could do in the mean time? I've read some previous posts about hand exercises but I wasn't sure if they would make the pain worse. Would heat help? Or ibuprofen cream?
Many thanks for any advice!!
