Oh man...I wish I knew something else to suggest you try that would give you some relief. Acupuncture might help. I have had some modest joint pain success with ginger, which is a natural anti-inflammatory. Chris whirls an entire hand/root which has been sliced, in the blender with warm water and a little honey, then lets it steep and strains it. I pour it into tea and drink. It's spicy/hot because there is capsaisin in it, which is probably the cause of the anti-inflammatory effect. That or 1 tsp. of ground ginger three times a day also helps. I stir it into iced tea.
But as in all things, it will be trial and error to find what treatment or combination works for you. Some people have success with ice massage. It definitely cuts down on the pain, and is used quite a bit in back pain due to inflammation. After the initial shock, simply peel your fingernails out of the ceiling with a nail file, and apply the ice for about ten minutes. ;-)
Well, gentle hugs if nothing else. I hope you get some relief.
