How Cans Severe Pain In The Thumbs Be Treated?

I have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis mainly in my hands and fingers. My thumbs hurt the worst. but I also have it in my shoulders some. I was in a car accident and fractured my right pelvis and have calcium buildup in the fractures so sometimes that hurts as well. I am 70 but still work full time, as I have very little savings, from a lifetime of only having access to low wage jobs. I lived most of my life in a very small town. Is there anything that actually helps with the pain? s
