Hi Debbie,
I would also advise you to keep your hand working! The best advise I got from an ortho friend about painful joints was no matter how much it hurt, keep using it like it never was affected! That advise has helped me tremendously.
The only other bit of advise is if you have flexion contracture issues of the hand, stretch the fingers into extension often and do exercises to extend the fingers, more than flexing them. If you don't use it, you'll lose it...
